The reason the power 5 conferences are the power 5 is budgets.

According to this, the bottom power 5 athletics budget is Washington State. The only non-power 5 school la that have a larger budget than Washington State are UConn and Houston. Granted, this list does not include most private schools, so I am sure there are more. But there is a big gap. The American is competitively very good, but there still is some gap, and they also have more of their budgets funded through student fees. A power 5 school may have student fees, but they aren’t accounting for half of the total athletics department budget like they do at schools in other conferences. That to me is the difference: Power 5 athletics departments have revenues (through ticket sales, TV contracts, etc) that enable them to be mostly self-sufficient.

I understand and that makes sense. However, don’t you think that the budget comes from actually being in a power5 conference due to much increased revenue. Seems like you would need to be in a P5 conference first as that bolsters the schools brand, then the revenue is generated from all the benefits of being a P5 branded school and competing against the other P5 schoools then your budget can be increased.

A school like liberty(private) would be an outlier based on their online schools generated revenue.

Does Boston College really deserve to be a P5 school over a UCONN or Liberty. I just don’t see how their can’t be more Inclusion to these conferences or create a 6th power conference which could generate more without watering down. I think expanding the college football playoffs will help.

Move this conversation to a new thread....back to jobs please

Kennesaw State Asst. Coach Opening

They’ve been without a sprints coach for nearly a year

Magness was a failed experiment at Houston. There were better options for that job and Houston hired him because of his name. He undoubtedly knows a lot about running and has a knack for the science, but is a lazy recruiter and spends more time sending tweets and cashing his checks for his books. I think, if the rumor is true and he coaches for UA’s pro team, he would do much better and could be a very good professional coach and voice for runners to listen to.

Dude, enough. Why are you in this thread if you don't have a basic knowledge of the NCAA conferences?

Also this has nothing to do with the thread to begin with.

And you sound like a dense mf’er. True, he should take it to another thread but he does make some valid points, probably just too deep for as.shat like you to understand.

News flash: you ain’t getting the job… any job!

I don't think he'll be a successful pro coach either. He just spent the past 5+ years accusing tons of pro runners of doping, without evidence. They aren't going to respect him after throwing so many people under the bus.

And I'm not convinced he knows a lot about running or the science. His book is like he read daniels or noakes and just reworded them. If he knew a lot about running/science he would have had much better results at Houston. At the very least you'd think his training plans were working wonders, but they were abysmal.

Mr. Whoaahhhh,

Please excuse me I am so very sorry for wasting your precious internet time with my post. I’m sure you’re delight to see some popular job openings that you’ll have no shot in hell of landing. Please forgive me, I’ll make sure to only post all the good stopwatch holding positions that you may be qualified for. Have a great day!

Vanderbilt just posted for a Volunteer XC and Distance Assistant Coach

Seems odd. If they are hiring a full time xc/distance coach, wouldn't they want that coach involved in who they bring in as a volunteer assistant? They wouldn't just hand the whole distance and xc to a volunteer, would they?

Their HR is supremely lazy then because the post says distance (which I would be shocked, if they were replacing Bray).

They have already hired a full time distance coach. Young white guy, not much experience. Wait for the announcement soon.
