So I was checking out the HL forums and i came across this article about the poor mans coach k and how poor his school is. The Press Gaz in GB wrote an article about the cash that surrounds all the HL schools. While you may be able to draw some analysis or relationship between money and good programs you can still find a counter point to each relationship.
the article is listed here www.greenbaypressgazette.com/sports/archive/sports_21626571.shtml

I think that Gb can give up the "were poor" story. Just bc you have money doesnt mean you have a great team or a 20 plus season. Of course coaches need some money to get a good program going. but just bc you make more money doesnt mean you coach better. I think other factors out side of money effect why recruits go to certain colleges.
