I was holding interviews for an open position where I used to work and none of the applicants seemed right. I didn't want to hire anyone just to fill the position so I was determined to wait as long as necessary. I asked the Lord to give me the patience needed to find the right fit. A few days later I was reviewing applications and I came across an applicant who name was Patience. She turned out to be one of the best hires I've ever made. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,781 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 So Ole Miss has $10 million with which to buy players and Auburn allegedly has more. I'm very glad that Harvard and Stanford grads don't want to get deep into this business. The rest of us wouldn't stand a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ivy league will be top dog. Harvard has over $50,000,000,000 endowment. that is not a typo. If Harvard wanted to, they could theoretically spend $1,000,000,000 on a coach and players PER YEAR for 50 years without bringing in another donation. A Billion per year. No SEC school could keep up.

AcUmen 243 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Quote I'm very glad that Harvard and Stanford grads don't want to get deep into this business. Yep. The Ivy League schools all have massive endowments. Harvard got $50 billion in donations this year (per their website). $50 billion. In one year. If the Ivies ever begin caring about football, we are all screwed. Their alums make Yella look like a pauper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your point is still correct. to compare, Auburn's total endowment is right around 1,000,000,000.

Even if they did decide to get competitive a lot of those donations would stop because they would be "exploiting" student-athletes lol think about the people who donate to Ivy League schools. And they still charge 60-70K a year in tuition lol that has to be the biggest scam ever. Edited November 25, 2022 by woodford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 49 years they will start to run out of money with NO more donations, but still have more than Auburn in the bank. If 75% of their donors just stopped they would still make more per year than Auburn has in our total endowment. It is just a matter of time before they realize they can also have top sports teams and can keep up with the big dogs in sports with a very very small percentage of their endowment. That day will eventually come. FSU was once a girls college. Suwannee and vandy used to be SUPER powerhouses. When the rules change power changes. We have have some drastic changes in the last few years. Who knows what could happen in the next decade or 2 Edited November 25, 2022 by Quietmaninthecorner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is the epitome of what they would define as toxic masculinity, 2nd only to what the US military was pre-woke. Football is about the last remaining American meritocracy; if the Ivy's take over football, they'll turn it into woke-ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tough choice because Harvard was so much less expensive than Auburn. ( granted I had to pay out of state for 2 years at Auburn, but would have at Harvard also) Harvard gives out so many scholarships and grants. Tuition is based on income. I think it was 10% of your income. They make it a point to make sure none of the students graduate with any school debt. It was 3 times more expensive to send my son to Auburn than Harvard. The only reason my son chose Auburn over Harvard was Harvard did not offer a degree in what my son wanted to major in. So glad he chose Auburn. He is happy and thriving and just 1 semester away from graduating. Edited November 25, 2022 by Quietmaninthecorner 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is way way way off…You do know Ivy League schools have been playing football for long time, and still play today. I mean they could just scrap football altogether if they felt the way you are portraying them to be. They are fine in the space they are in as it relates to football as well as other athletic programs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
