budget, then we should be able to with $130 million.
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.
Think about this: We could spend $40 MILLION on football per year, and still have more money left over than K-State's entire AD budget.
