## Resource

Despite financial disadvantages, Houstons basketball team, led by Kelvin Sampson, has thrived, consistently ranking in the top ten. However, the gap between Houston and other top programs, like LSU, is vast. Sampson urges fans to support all sports, not just basketball and football, to help Houston compete at a higher level. The reality is, it takes a significant budget to contend for championships, and Houstons athletic department, while talented, operates with fewer resources than their competitors. To truly compete across all sports at the highest level, Houston needs comparable financial support. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
