1. Money- AU can match any amount those other schools offer
All we ever heard at Alabama was that Texas could outbid us, but you don't think they couldn't outbid Auburn? Are you delusional?

Facilities- AU can match any of those schools facilities.
Perhaps.

3. Recruiting Base- There are more DI Athletes within 250 miles of AU than any of Those Schools.
Maybe, but you're up against Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, etc. Texas trumps this.

Fan Support- you tell me.
Pretty sure Texas and ND would top Auburn in this category easily. Probably Michigan, Ohio State, and USC as well. OSU and UM don't share their state with another program that takes over half the fan base.

Texas and ND can outbid everyone, but they have proven that will not get in a bidding contest. It might have something to do with arrogance, but they are not going to pay well above the Market Value of coach.
Texas is up against Texas A&M, LSU and OU, just to name a few. The SEC is proven to be a bigger name than UT, even in the State of TX.
Auburn had 60% of the fans in the Rose Bowl for the BCSNCG. How many did ND take to Miami two years ago ?
