There will be no excuse to have mediocre athletic programs anymore.
The reason Clemson has a top football program despite having subpar/ACC-level revenue, is that they invest a greater percentage of their budget in football — $40 million per year (nearly twice what we spend). So not only should we put this entire $23 million/year windfall into FB (and BB), we should reallocate funds currently going to worthless non-revenue programs and pour them into FB and BB as well, like Clemson (and other schools with smart ADs) are doing. If Clemson is spending $40 million per year on football, then we should be spending $50 million. We have the budget for it now.
Let's think big. The only sports that are going to put MU on the map are football and basketball. Our budget should reflect that fact.
