They're putting money into the facilities. None into a coach yet. I'm sure TJ will get a couple of years in the SEC before any decisions are made about whether or not he's made for the job in the SEC. Everyone expects us to not win much this year, so I think he'll get next year as well at least.
My biggest beef has been the University's lack of putting money or effort into promoting the team. I'm in St. Louis and while there's a good amount of football and basketball talk, I can tell you I have heard ZERO mentions of the baseball team on the radio.
The University initially blocked the COMO radio station from streaming games online because they wanted everyone to pay $10/month to listen to games. Problem with that is, if you have a product like LSU or SC, you can get away with that. If you have a populous that knows nothing about your team because you don't promote it, they'll never pay for it and your not reaching out and getting your product to the people to create the demand.

I seriously think baseball is a losing effort in Missouri. There's too many major/minor league teams to take the real baseball enthusiast money in the state. If they're going to market the team, the support and money needs to go to Columbia/Jeff City. I don't see a whole ton of people ever coming from KC/STL for baseball.
Drinking sections in the outfield, as was mentioned before, with a little local marketing is probably the key.
