[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 129570658, member: 1601483"] OK, guys. Then why isn't A&M winning NCs with the largest athletic budget in college sports at $192.6 million dollars? Or Texas with $183.5 million? All of that money got the Aggies an 8 - 5 record and a loss to Louisville in the Music City Bowl this past season. FSU had a budget that was $60 million less than the top earners and they do OK. You must have sufficient resources for facilities, coaches' salaries, recruiting, etc. but at some point having even more does not ensure winning. WVU's budget was $90.5 million for 2015 and will likely close in on $95 million for 2016. How about Clemson? Do they have a shot at the NC? Not according to your theory, their 2015 budget was $83.5 million. And they're located out in the middle of nowhere in western South Carolina. It is simply not accurate to say WVU has no chance when they are putting a significant number of players in the NFL. WVU is not lacking in athletic income to accomplish the procurement of everything needed to compete at the top level. My numbers come from [URL='http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances']here[/URL].
