Troy does not seem to have a notably higher budget than it’s peers. Which is useful since Georgia Tech will likely not have a much higher budget than it’s peers (and a good bit less than a bunch of them). Georgia Tech will certainly have an ability to get some transfers in a way that Troy couldn’t.
