Remember when all the SEC money was going to put us light yrs ahead of Clemson?

We wasted it on non big 3 sports. You focus on your money makers first unless you are USC. Then you put a ton of money in the others so you can talk about them as the Big 3 suck it up.
And remember most thought the SEC network was going to propel us past Clemson as well.
It's not about how much money you have, it's about spending it wisely.
lol, rarely covers anything USC related. Mostly it has become the Bama network during football season.
True. Games like Bama vs. The Citadel on instead of anybody else.
This is what happens when a monster takes up residence in the neighborhood.
I chalk it up to screwed up priorities by our administration and a fan base that allowed it. Hope it changes.
It is about managing the money correctly in the first place. That is where we fall down. We have a dugout coach managing our money. It seems almost too incredible to believe that our Board of Trustees would put us in that position, yet here we are.
Money ain't got nothing to do with it.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

You do realize the future isn't over. Rome wasn t built in a day! Neither did it fall in a day. The taters will fall. The Gamecocks will rise! It's destiny!
I hope you right. I’m 48. Be 49 in few months. How long before our Rome is built? Will I make it?
Yes! The Gamecocks will reign much sooner than most believe! We just need to get a handle on this injury epidemic!
Actually, it is...
College Footballs Most Valuable Teams in 2018
Clem ain't on that list, we're #15!!!
We should be good on Offense for sure next year hopefully we score as many as possible without sand bagging
I can’t explain in depth but I can say this about one sport. We spent over $1,000,000 to build a beach volleyball court (or whatever you call it). Then God only knows the dollars spent on maintenance, ongoing expenses, scholarships, salaries, travel, etc. I’m sure someone offended will scorch me for pointing this out, but what in the hell has this bought us?
Many on the BOT don't know their asshole from a hole in the ground. They're on the BOT to jack up their business and law practice networking. They sat back and let the acadimecians push an 'Olympics Sports' emphasis. Lots of smart white kids from all over the world - helps crank up the all-sports gpa and USC's ranking among the conference schools, however this strategy may improve the overall perception of our sports programs, it doesn't do a damn thing for our up and down football program.
Forget the money I was told us being in the SEC and them being in the ACC was a huge
You and me seem to be the only two on this board who get it. The funniest thing are the folks who want to push to expand as if that would somehow help.
I don't think the beach volleyball team is holding back the football team. They are not mutually exclusive.
I imagine having a beach volleyball program has attracted athletes from across the country. I guess you can't quantify that, but that can only be a good thing for the school.
I don’t think beach volleyball alone is holding back the football team either. I do think it demonstrates poor decision making by those that make them. This is the only example I can name however I’d suspect there are others because whoever made this one likely made others.
