Money. All the SEC schools got a gigantic slice of that ESPN contract to add to our pots of cash we already had.

UF is the only school pleading poverty and spending like a 1AA team.

We spend it on all sports not just the football players. Those other kids are entitled to it.

I happen to know that UT is short of money and unless you are a donkey money is not the only thing to motivate a person to take a position. And those gigantic amounts of money might be large to a donkey, not that large in reality. Now I will be on the lookout for the local info.

Yes, we know that hundreds of millions is chump change in Vulcanland and that you dont even bother with anything less than a billion.

UT might be short on change but our ADs are the only ones pleading poverty.
