A good coach can recruit with bad fan support. Look at Auburn, Virginia Tech, and Mississippi State. They had bad fan support for years and were able to make homerun hires that are recruiting at high levels. Most coaches are smart enough to know that a program isn't going to get high levels of fan support when they are as poorly run as our program is.

At the end of the day this is a business and the biggest way you can bring about change from the AD is to hit them in the pocketbook. I have scaled my TSF donations way back as have multiple people I know. If they want to run this program like a mid-major that's their choice. But I won't be giving my hard earned money to support a program that isn't committed to winning.
