New Money

LSU Georgia Clemson, Miami , Florida State Auburn Oregon Florida can be added to the list and rather that than be the old Blue Bloods hanging on the past successes.

If you really wanna talk about New Money you have to go by the list of wealthiest athletic programs in the country who are not so-called "blue bloods."

Money (facilities and fan support translates to recruiting) is where it's at and if you've got the money and are endeavoring for success it'll happen eventually.

A&M probably leads that list but you've got several programs in the SEC and B1G who are making moves thanks to the big TV money and conference revenue.

Sustaining success is the hard part these days.

In everything in life there are three phases.

Growth, Maintenance and Decline. Maintaining growth is the most difficult thing to do in this universe and even tougher is maintenance once you've reached the pinnacle. Doesn't matter what you are talking about, life, business, sports, socioeconomics, physics .... it's all the same.
