Kids want to go to a school that invests in its athletic program.
That's an interesting way to say that kids want fancy stuff and want to be catered to.
Let's not mince words with what goes on with recruiting. It's an arse kissing contest and a display of how cushy life can be and how fancy shite is. Why are people so willing to commit millions of dollars to this arse kissing contest yet so reluctant to then admit to what it is?

Foley got away with have shite facilities
Nothing at UF is "shite". The lack of perspective on this issue is mind numbing.

because Urban and Billy were really good
So was Spurrier. That's really the point here: find good coaches because good coaches win and they know how to produce a winning product and it's demonstrated every time they take the field. Facilities or not, good coaches can win. And winning is worth more than any facility upgrade. That's an important point that Meyer understands, Spurrier understands, and Saban understands. That's why they are focused the most on winning. And it's a point more fans need to understand.

I don't believe Morrison, and I don't think we have any maintenance issues at all. Foley clearly did not want to be a part of the "Arms Race" that many other teams in the SEC were having. I am not sure if he saw himself as a white knight to try and stop the obscene spending or what the deal was, but he clearly was on the tightwad side of the fence.
I am hopeful our new AD will put us back among the leaders in having the top facilities in not only the league but the country as well.

Top 10 in revenue every year. Do we have top 10 facilities? No, we might not be top 10 in the SEC.
I love Foley as an AD. I think he was the best AD in the SEC and probably the nation. However, UF is behind most of our competition.
Jack Jackson (who posts on TD and SECr) said a lot of our facilities that he toured during his sons recruitment were the same as when he played here.

Our facilities are pretty bad comparatively speaking. The athletic dorms in particular are supposedly awful and have lost us recruits. Steve Russell has had numerous former players, administrators, and sports journalists who have talked about this a great deal over this season.

I used to be on this side of things, but at some point, you have to accept the realities of Professional College Football.
Why is a top recruit going to come here when there are a score of other school that do kiss their arse? Wish it wasn't that way, but it nonetheless is.
