Interesting.
In terms of budget, and many here like to remind us that money is everything,....
Florida Atlantic is 5th in the SBC
Troy is 6th in the SBC
UL is 7th in the SBC
But hey, we're all in the SBC, which is college football purgatory, so money is not the deciding factor amongst ourselves. It's people.
As far as I can tell, WKU has some really exceptional people running their sports programs.
They are the unquestioned class of the league in basketball, and are picked to win the league this year in baseball as well after going to regionals last year.
They hire GREAT coaches, and I don't see any reason why their obvious committment to excellence shouldn't continue to the football field.
