In answer to A. The 30 year [1994-2024] average growth for the S&P was 9%.

Glasco Still won 40 games, 20 conf games, conf reg season title and 3 wins in the region..... in first season after the place was burned down

I have been waiting for an idiot like you to say something like this. No comparison between Glasco first season and Alyson first season. Glasco only lost 3 good players Denham, Sanders and Creighton. The rest that left weren't even playing and Lotief had about ten more players than the current roster has. Also Glasco had Summer Eleyson. Alyson had nine players less Landry, Ellestad, Valdez, Davis, Allred, Riassetto, Langeliers, Roman, Greater and no stud pitchers. Glasco was also able to get better players than the players that left who weren't that good. Alyson came in so late she had the option of getting whatever left of the slim pickings. Glasco also didn't have the schedule that Alyson has. This schedule was set up for a wcws type team. No comparison at all.

A. I have been averaging over 10% for 20 years. I think 5% is a very reasonable number.
B. The smart ones will invest most of it. The not-so-smart will blow it in year 1.
C. The smart ones will get a job and manage their windfall for retirement. The not-so-smart will have to get a job, since they blew their money when they got it.

Good points on a and c, i was thinking certificate of deposit. Not sure stocks are way to go for students but your math was better.
As far as b, should a university, a taxbase and a community "invest" so much and basically attempt to give a lifetime windfall for just a few years of "work" when the odds they do the right thing is less than 50 pct?.. they already get to play for free, with many other benefits, look how many others pay to play, travel ball, adult leagues, gym memberships, etc.

I wasnt comparing the records of the coaches, i was comparing which was really a "burning down the house" and which wasnt....now who is the idiot

True, yet UL can’t afford to stay irrelevant as this season has become. Otherwise, MH’s post quickly become the new reality, as noted below.

Although none of us are satisfied with where we are this year; it is important to note that even with our shortcomings we are still in the top 50 RPI, and 8 of our 15 losses are to Top 25 RPI teams. We have not pulled a James Madison who have fallen off a cliff following their WCWS run 4 years ago. We still have 7 games remaining against top 50 RPI [CCU x3, TxSt x3 and aTm] and 8 more against RPI 51-100 [LTU x2, Troy x3 and USM x3]. The remaining 6 games are against 101-150 [JMU x3 @ 114 and USA x3 @ 147.

Our current record vs RPI 26-309 is 14-7. Only aTm [1] among our remaining is in the top 25. If we go 14-7 in our remaining games, and at least win 3 of 6 in the CCU and TxSt series, I believe we will be in position to be considered for an at-large bid. We may not get one, but our resume won't be that bad.

Imagine if bob marlin said this, lol....

Meanwhile still hawking rpi, when it was proven inferior by the ncaa itself. How can they continue to use a self admitted inferior standard. Why no lawsuits

Oh...those that think they know but don't know squat! There is no comparison!

In all honesty, we have probably over-performed our talent and experience level this year.

Also, there are 9 non P4 schools in the top 25 in Non-Conference SOS. The combined record of those 9 against the Top 25 is 4-45. We have played 10/49 of those games and have half of the wins.

Why list his record and accomplishments then?

Because a burned down house implies, a bad record the following year.
