lot of posts about our basketball budget being 2nd lowest in


Mar 28, 2019, 4:52 PM

ACC...

Can anyone confirm, or deny, that Brownell has asked for money and been denied? I am trying to figure this out. If the outcry is over what we spend, has our staff asked for this "additional money"?

Can anyone answer this. I have asked the Judge several times, with no answer.

It's hard to compare expenses because each school uses different numbers, but according to the revenue figures from the Department of Education website, Clemson MBB is 10th in the league with 11.2 million in revenues for 2017. Largest is Louisville with 43 million, and the average for the league is 16.9.

I don’t see this as being a money problem. He’s a Wright St coach and players trying to compete day in and day out in the ACC. Barnes proved its not facilities, or salary or history of our program.

Recruiting, development, and coaching. Simple really.

Fun fact on Barnes. He finished with winning ACC record ONE

year. He never finished above 4th place. He saw writing on wall and bolted for Texas. The man has ONE final four appearance, the same as Frank Martin

Kevin Ollie has as many national titles

As Tom Izzo and Bill Self and more than John Belein and Mark Few. So what does that tell us?
Barnes is better than Martin by many miles. He did a great job here and got an offer from one the top 2-3 athletic depts in the country.

Brad has been asking for better facilities, a higher assistant

coach budget, and additional support staff from day one.

He was told that he would have to raise the money himself for a new arena, so he did. Once he raised the money, the plan was downgraded from a new arena to a renovation.

He finally got additional budget for assistants and new support staff in 2017, following his year end meeting with DRad.

I have posted this info multiple times over the past month.

Thanks

You may not find that link. You likely also will not find a link that says he wasn’t responsible for raising the money himself.

The only assistants he has lost have been to

head coaching jobs, aside from Winecki who was let go. Is our staff simply subpar because we don't pay enough?

The increased budget in 2017 was to keep Smith and hire a replacement


Mar 28, 2019, 5:59 PM

for Wienecki.

That’s a pretty raw deal if he raised the money for a new arena and they downgraded to a renovation... Who was responsible for the downgrade - DRad? What was done with the remaining funds? Not sure I would have stuck around after being screwed like that!!!

If people were as good as their obituary - and products were as good as advertised - this would truly be a wonderful world !!
