The Ivies recognized their academic missions come first and didn’t want the distraction of big-time athletics. They were visionaries in my opinion and made absolutely the right call for their institutions. Get ready for more to follow this path.

I am sure he was.......

I have watched a lot of basketball in my 66 years........I've never seen anything like that. My god......

LOL! Now that's funny!

Which begs the question, why does a school like BC continue down this road of major college athletics? Does it truly need that forum to preserve and grow its academic standing?

Sure, but the market is being set and I would expect payrolls for top programs to go north of that number in the coming years.

Kentucky put a team together this season with a total salary north of $20 million. That's where this is all going. Hard to see a scenario where BC plays in that world. On the other hand it's possible, albeit unlikely, that BC might someday make a serious run at an NIT bid. That might pack...

I have every confidence they can acheive this.......

Conte has been dead for hoops for decades. When BC was in the Big East it was UCONN's home court in Boston. BC is going to need a hell of a run to restore any type of interest in that program and it's hard to see how that happens.

Solid guard play and defense will take you a long way in the Tourney. The question is whether or not we have the shooters. imho
