re: Univ. of Florida's athletic dept. is miles ahead of the rest of the SEC

Well I have lived in Florida for 28 years now. While the economic downturn was bad here, Florida was and certainly is waaaay ahead of all other southern states not named Texas in terms of economic diversity, cash, potential to rebound, etc. But mainly what I'm saying is Florida, the university, has tons of money to do plenty with its facilities despite any economic downturn.
