Who does the most with the least?

A comment from the Rifle thread got me thinking of who does the best in the SEC relative to :
a) Athletic budget
b) State population
c) Living alumni - or some metric based on the size of the institution
d) Other factors such as climate or locational bonuses
Vandy is a wealthy school
Florida and Texas are located in huge states
Mizzou in a colder climate may have recruiting issues for late fall and early spring sports
Arkansas has the state all to itself and does not have to compete for state funding

USC is my best guess.

SC, at least for the past 2-3 seasons.

Vandy is a wealthy school but does not have a big athletic budget. That money goes towards academics. The correct answer right now is Vandy

Alabama isn't a factor in this. Alabama is more of a "does most with the most" deal.

Texas A&M, LSU, Florida, and Alabama have no business being mentioned I this thread. Does Georgia produce a lot of good football talent?

It has to be Georgia. There's no reason why they can't be as dominant athletically as Florida and compete for national championships in all Big Three sports year after year.

It has to be James Franklin despite the rich school shite. He does more with less (talented players) than anyone I can think of.

USC
A) Here's a link for 6 years worth of budgets (but it's over a year old.) USC is in the bottom half.

B) SC has a population a little smaller than AL's, but substantially smaller than TN, FL and GA.
C) I think we have around 35K undergrads and that ranks us in the middle of the pack for SEC schools.
D) Columbia, SC is one of the hottest places on the earth in July/August (because of humidity.) Although, it is also 90 minutes from the beach, 90 minutes from a major city, 90 minutes from the mountains and close to major interstates.
