The thing is, a good amount if our alumni are from the northeast and from out of country compared with UGA, and many of ours go back home after leaving UM whereas I assume more of UGA stay closer to home after graduation and are more emotionally and therefore monetarily invested in their football program because they grew up watching them.My assumption of money greedy whores was not a shot at you, just more the vibe I get from the board. I think you're pretty stand up in your responses. So don't take that the wrong way.
Yes we're operating under the assumption that the bag game does exsist. I guess my point as being an alumni of Miami is that per capita our alumni is more productive on an economic scale than the average UGA grad.
I know plenty of kids that went onto be investment bankers in Manhattan with their Miami degree, making 10x income, as opossed to UGA grads going back to Tift county to be a farmer!
Sure - they beat us in number of grads. And at the end of the day, they might have a bigger athletic budget. But, I just think we gave enough to compete with that with the fact that we're in Miami and our alumni earn more. Also add on if we have the X factor that kids families might want them to stay home.
UGA has more than double UM's enrollment. Take the amount of students that graduate from UM's for a given year and then double it. Now, multiply that number by 5, 10, 20 ect (years) and you get a sense of how many more alumi they have to pull resources from than does UM.
The sheer difference in numbers alone more than make up for the difference in the quality of job the average UM attains after leaving vs one from UGA.
Then you factor in differences between where those students settle after graduation and their emotional attachment to program...
