Agree on SEC money but I know, again, from personal experience, that the Vandy Chancellor has made success in athletics a priority. Again, not necessarily winning FB titles but winning records etc. I don't believe we can say the same for Rice admin based on product.

Vanderbilt football has had a winning record in 3 of the last 30 seasons.

Ok...point taken but way better competition than CUSA! Let's stick with baseball!!! FYI, what has Rice FB record been over same time period in a less than P5 conference. I'm sure there is someone on this board that can write a program to determine the CUSA W/L correction factor. Bet it's not much better.

So, do you think the money is what makes the difference or the commitment. I say there is way more commitment to athletics at Vandy than Rice. Prove to me where I'm wrong. Rice has the funds just chooses to ignore sports IMO.
