Possible Athletic Staff Expansion?

[UKEagle79]

This is a repost from another board in this forum to garner more responses.

Why is our athletic staff so small compared to other CUSA schools? 

We only have two compliance employees, a relatively small marketing team, only one graphics guy on board and only three people working in the ticket office. 

Is this something we can expect to change in the near future? I read a post on this forum referencing the $26 million debt our athletic department has but perhaps this is one of those times where you have to spend money to make money.

Also, I made arrangements to be in Denton for SMU weekend (some have speculated that game could be the first sellout in Apogee history) and would appreciate some recommendations for good restaurants and some fun activities to do with the wife and kids while we are in town. I'm trying to avoid the cliche places like Rudy's and etc.

You never answered this on the BBall forum. I too am curious as to what schools you are using as a measuring stick.

@UNTFan23 I'm using other schools in our conference as a measuring stick, for example Marshall, UAB, Charlotte, UTSA, and FAU just to name a few. Based on what I saw online, we have one of the smallest athletic staffs across the board in all of CUSA. 

UAB: https://www.uabsports.com/staff.aspx

Marshall: http://www.herdzone.com/staffdir/mars-staffdir.html

Charlotte: https://www.charlotte49ers.com/staff.aspx

UTSA: http://goutsa.com/staff.aspx

FAU: http://www.fausports.com/school-bio/fau-school-bio-directory.html
