It doesn't really matter. G5 schools are getting somewhere around $40-50 million/year less money than the B1G, so even if they were #1 in facilities at some point, they will rapidly fall behind.

grandpasknee Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Somebody do a Google search for most successful UCF grads. Maybe one or two ponied up? My power is out, saving my phone data. Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Well that certainly complicates things on our end, but we can just pay more. I doubt they can afford 6 to 7 million or more a year. I give UCF props for trying to keep him there and it might work, but he won't be staying because they outbid us. Time to get nasty behind the scenes and flex our financial muscle. Link to comment
Packerhuskerfan Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 UCF would be better off paying an assistant 2 million a year than cripple their athletic department. Even with that fund they hope to raise 1.5 million for would not be enough. Link to comment

Ok, but this is why UCF is investing so much money in sports right now. They see where things are headed and if UCF can't prove that it deserves more than every other G5 school and a bunch of P5 schools, we'll get locked out forever. So they are putting a lot on the credit card right now. Our endowment is embarrassingly small. Our student athletic fees are massive. But UCF is hunkering down for the football apocalypse and we obviously think Frost is the guy to get us there. Link to comment

Plus, a large portion of their athletic department budget comes from the students. It would be difficult for them to upgrade facilities and then maintain them on the backs of their students. 1 Link to comment
Packerhuskerfan Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 UCF was in the Fiesta Bowl just a few years ago, not sure why they think it would be doomsday if he leaves and they keep an assistant to keep it going. Link to comment

You have to wonder if the fact that Nebraska wants Frost back so bad, is helping UCF build their case towards an eventual springboard into the B12? It's not that crazy to think about. Link to comment

TV revenues? Ticket sales? Local Bikini Wax tax and co-ed swimsuit car washes, bro. Would have it in a year, two tops. Link to comment
