Frankly, a huge patch between Bama and VT staff budgets. I'm saying we ought to land somewhere in the upper third of the FBS. All these campaigns are trying to get us to the upper 1/3 of the ACC! Underfunded is the state of our program until this year, truly.

I used to feel the same about doing more with less - but that's not true in the Beamer years. During the early 2000s (height of success) I think it was CC who pointed out VT had either a top 5 or top 10 paid staff. What did happen was we got comfortable during that success and sat on those figures. The rest of CFB passed us by. Now we are playing catch up after a decade+ stagnation period.
