who'd have a better Poultry Science building?

I misread. You are likely correct. But as hatvol said, the competition isn't fierce.

my point exactly. All I'm saying is that Broyles has done a very good job of raising funds and building world class facilities for use in recruitment of athletes.

Which, eliminating the success achieved by a coach Broyles ran out of town, has resulted in mediocre to bad results in the major sports.

you might be able to imagine trying to recruit to Fayetteville. While it has grown tremendously and has much to offer a young family, I can't imagine wanting to come here as a college freshman. Very little attractive areound here.

As to the Nolan affair. I'd say Broyles put up with Nolan for about as long as possible after the NC. In fact, given your fire to can Fulmer, I can imagine that you would have canned him far sooner for lackluster recruiting, player laxness and dismal game results.

As opposed to booming metropolises like Norman, Oklahoma, Tuscaloosa and Auburn, Alabama, and Morgantown, West Virginia?

No, I like Nolan. I would give him more leeway than someone I find 100% detestable.

I like Nolan as a coach, but he had laid down on the program.

I would agree with that. However, I think the main cause of that was his contempt for Broyles.

that might be so, but it doesn't excuse lack of effort. Maybe Broyles should have been the one to go, but that wasn't about to happen. If Nolan had still been getting after it and been fielding competitive teams, he might have stood a fighting chance.

Which begs the question: How many schools even have a building dedicated to the study of poultry?

Most land grant universities in the South East.
