Great Year for Tech Athletics

[PawDawg]

That's amazing.. especially when factoring in our athletic budget.

What does our budget have to do with it?

9 wins in football - nice feat, but our schedule was not difficult. HCSH makes as much or more than his peers.

20 wins in MBB is no longer a big deal. Hasn't been in years. Again or HC makes as much or more than his peers.

40 wins in baseball IS a big deal, but our budget never told how much we were paying our HC. It also did not include private donations for facility improvements.

My point to offset your point is that the "doing more with less" statement is overused and not accurate.

Compared to those 4 schools:

Ohio State: $167 million
Florida: $147 million
Florida St: $121 million
Ole Miss: $82 million
La Tech: $22 million

Cost per win:
Ohio St: $2.4 million
Florida: $2.1 million
Florida St: $1.8 million
Ole Miss: $1.2 million
La Tech: $319 thousand

Yeah, but the neat thing is only 5 MAJOR universities qualified. That is a feat budget or no budget.

That's not a cost. That's a math solve. It's not nearly as shocking as the tweet our Admin sent out. What speaks is us having 5 home games after coming off back to back bowl victories AND our giving and season ticket sales are way down.

Call me when we win 12 in football, 30 in basketball, and 50 in baseball. Otherwise, our AD is doing a bad job at getting coaches, not having enough home games, and is not promoting games on sources other than social media enough.

The only thing he has done well is hire coaches. I've stated that many times.

Why is LTAC giving down?
Season ticket sales down?

Total fail on his part, but like when Oakes was failing the fans just look the other way until things get REALLY bad.

Just be happy for a day. We did very well last year. (How did you come up with the moniker maddawg?)

I'm happy.

Becoming complacent is dangerous. That's what our AD and many fans are becoming. History is repeating itself.

1) LA Tech's HOME scheduling is horrible in football AND mens basketball.

2) LA Tech fans are obviously not excited about playing CUSA schools.

I think it has more to do with our current AD and his inability to bond with the majority of the LTAC base.

There's plenty of people I bond with at games, that doesn't make our schedule not suck.

Season tix are down bc schedule is a dud.

Giving is down bc TMac is an AD for the 1%.

He only wants to suck up to the rich folks. He's like the wanna be popular kid in high school that tries so hard to be cool.

This is the most obvious fact staring them in the face.

What is the threshold someone should have to give in order to have their voice regularly heard by the AD?
