We may not be quite at $35M but we have exceeded $30M. We are aggressively increasing our budget in order to be competitive amongst the institutions we would like to be peers with.
My biggest gripe with Marlin is schedule and ROI. If he won 27 games a year every year it would be different. But that isn’t the case. If our OOC opponents all had an RPI in the top 150 history shows that we wouldnt win more than 15 games a season.
I want to dominate the Sun Belt, not be middle of the pack. I want to see us iqualify for the NIT at least every other year. We aren’t getting that kind of production out of Marlin. We are in an average to below average league. We have the facilities and better support than almost all of the mid majors in our region.
