Top assistants of NCAA powerhouse football programs

With the addition of the new schools in the ACC, an aggressive recruiter(s) with good HS contacts in Fla., Virginia and the NE area could turn those fertile grounds into a bonanza for UNC or NC State. If you don't have those type of recruiters...go find them.

I would think that a recruit in the NE area that had little interest in the ACC, before BC's involvement, would be very interested in playing in the South. At least that is a recruiting tool that now carries more weight.

 

I don't think so. Did you see that UNC just had a 2.3 million dollar endowment to augment the salaries of assisstant football coaches?

We don't have a T. Boone Pickens or anything, but we do have a goodly amount of cash.

 

Hell, I heard that several years ago South Carolina had the best funded Athletics Program.

 

Braves, you missed the point that even traditional powers like FSU are having trouble getting the same recruits that they used to. Amato has had success with a handful of Florida high schools, but for the most part N.C. universities don't have a chance because you're competing against other programs with better results and more tradition.

 

And remember that the ACC has a revenue sharing program in place, so schools are benfitting pretty much equally from the dollars. Therefore, the more funds that a college can raise on its own, the more it's gonna have in comparison.

 

and those funds are the one's that are reported

 

amato is basically getting the fish that fla schools throw back. evry once in awhile he catches a keeper.


amato is done. anyone hear his presser yesterday?

 

dont all the major conferences have revenue sharing now?

 

I understand your point, but if they are going to get better, they're going to have to do something different then they are doing now...speaking in terms of NC schools.

But you have brought up an interesting point, Collin. Why are those traditional powerhouses not able to get the same quality and quanitity of recruits as before?

 

More programs have resources than ever before. Not only do you have the traditional guys and even the second tier ACC and SEC schools, but you also have the UCFs now. Players know they can get to the NFL even from those places, and there they have more opportunity to play right away. Except for Julius Peppers and Lawrence Taylor, there really isn't much to differentiate Carolina from the billion other schools competing for their interest.
