You are asking players where they want to play for the next 3-5 years.
Have to show them something better than your competition.
Like walking into a trailer compared to a mansion.
Where would you rather be at

That's the problem with college football. There needs to be a program spending limit on coaching salaries, facilities, etc. Competition should be taking place on the field, not off it.
How is that a problem?
Competition is mainly off the field in the sport...
How the sport was created with recruiting. Schools compete in everything.
Why people love college football
And people still complain that athletes get nothing, yet your average-tuition paying student that is the heart and soul of your university isn’t allowed to use the athletic facilities.
It's a problem because we're talking about a sport, not a facility pageant. People don't love college football because of how much a program spends on facilities they never get to use or the ridiculous salaries coaches get paid. Which programs are always at the upper echelon of college football? The blue-bloods, AKA, the ones that spend the most. Do you like money dictating which blue-blood is going to get to be the best program in the country? Why even bother playing the games? Just hand the national championship trophy to the program that spends the most. Not sure why you'd rather see off-field competition instead of better on-field competition. So many wasted games between teams that aren't evenly matched thanks to so much greed in the sport.
Things in life aren't fair....
You have two choices.
1) Whine about it and beg for change
2) Get your *** in gear and change your situation
WVU is looking to change their situation. Have to respect that.
I don't know why some of their fans want to complain..if you are a fan of WVU you should see what they are doing and say that is how things get handled.
Because football has always been about money. Since day one. It is ingrained into the sport. What makes CFB what it is.
Football hasn't always been about the money. See Don Nehlen's complaint about how much coaches get paid today compared to when he coached. There's no comparison whatsoever to the amount of money being spent on college football today compared to several decades ago. It's past the point of absurd. The NCAA has an opportunity to make competition more fair by implementing a spending cap on programs. Your argument about life not being fair doesn't even apply here as the NCAA COULD make competition more fair by changing the rules. Greed in college football is running rampant and the NCAA needs to step in to help level the playing field. Football is about athletic competition, not money. No competition, no football. They go hand in hand. Money, beyond the basics necessary to field a team, is not required.
The arms race in regards to facilities was already at the high school level in the 1980's in Texas
Coaches get paid more than they did in 1988. I don't think you can find much that cost the same.
Back then seeing gasoline under 1.00 was common. Seeing gasoline over 1.00 was uncommon.
I can go on and on
Prices have changed but what hasn't is that people will pay the price to win...
You can't get this out of the game. This is America. This is who we are as a people. We compete. We are willing to spend money to compete.
This has been with CFB for while.
The facilities haven't. But the facilities being upgraded aren't anything new. Been with the game for 40-50+ years.
