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.


I do think that Foley starting the process for facilities upgrades. O'Dome reno was in the works. IPF was supposedly in the works but Mac demanded more and faster.

I also think that Foley did not want to do a bunch of facilities upgrades while there were issues with funding for the university during the recession. Being fiscally responsible is never a bad thing.

I agree, but I bet him being too cheap to keep up with the Jones have led to lagging booster support.

I don't disagree with being fiscally responsible, but there is a middleground between where Foley was and the Bama/Oregon/TAMU level of oppulence. I also found this article that shows stats that ilustrate the correllation between football success and increased applicants
