You have to remember when all the conference shuffling was going on we had no master plan and our budget was still smaller than every other school besides ULM. Things are different now.
The question posed to me was what did Tech have that was better than what we had so I answered it. Their budget was bigger, they had a stronger athletic foundation, they had better football facilities (not by much, but still better,) their football program was better, plans drawn up for facility enhancements, plans to increase the budget. Am I saying they were head and shoulders ahead of us? Of course not. Am I saying they are still ahead of us today? No, not anymore. We've come a long way in 2 years. But back then, if you compared our apples to their apples and our oranges to their oranges, theirs were a little bit better. That's all I'm saying.
