SC hit the jackpot when they hired Staley! That program is a machine that attracts and produces the best. I don't see that changing as long as she's there. She gets superstars to buy into a team first mentality. They have to be willing to sit the bench and share their minutes.

There are folks here who are more concerned with losing than winning. And frankly the idea athletics is a front porch only works if the front porch isn't collapsing. Then people stay away from your university.

That's a good thing I'm not sure our collapsing front porch can handle much more than the ~80K we have! Thank goodness people are staying away!

So a plan to make college generally more affordable shouldn't apply to institutions whose alumni hold their noses collectively in the air???

Where did I say that? I said we have almost 80k students which too many. Not sure how sports lowers the cost of education for almost 80K students.

Your judgment that it is too many is where you said it.

So you are ok going to 80k and above? According to the former VP of Student Affairs and the President, we running out of classrooms, running out of support services, our infrastructures are being stressed, etc.
I'm just saying until we get our handle on things, it's not a bad thing to slow and develop short/long term plans for dealing with current issues and how to properly deal with future growth. But that's just my opinion, if you disagree, cool, you are certainly entitled to your own.

pay up for whom? just paying someone 4 million doesn't mean they will have success- that is very naive? Even trying to steal Staley away fro m SC by say paying 5 Mil/ year doesn't mean that coach will have success here.

I'm certain that college is the least efficient way to learn something and USNews emphasizes schools that are way more expensive than A&M and emphasize tiny class sizes. If you want the price to be like Harvard then limit admission and feel hoity toity.

Note that it has been since the mid 2000 decade that we started being recognized for better workers and better value. I don't see absolutely anything wrong with that. Why do you???

I am well aware of our rankings., and I agree college costs are too high.I'm not sure why slowing down growth while we build the infrastructure to support it is a bad or "hoitty toighty", but okay. I never advocated kicking kids out to get to Harvard's level, but then you know that.
