First we don't even think about going out and paying for a top flight Bball coach......stupid move. Football is the Bell Cow of the university and is the Most valuable asset in the sports program. Basketball is a after thought. That is the reality of the SEC world.
We have to put all our eggs into the Football basket first and foremost. We have to build that Program up to it's highest level before we start throwing money at bball.
Now a budget increase in Basketball is necessary to get it more on the level of other mid-tier programs in the SEC. But even the idea of paying a Basketball coach at Mizzou more than our football coach makes it look like Bball is more important. That can't ever be the case. Basketball has to know it's roll and status on the pecking order of sports at MU. It is 2nd fiddle forever.
