Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 3285901, member: 364"] lots to dismiss here We simply got into FBS/D1 Football way too late & didn't build the Brand beyond where it needed to be - that's on BC. There's no reason a Jesuit school with minimal regional fanbase should overwhelm the best State U in new England. We simply are a small northeastern state in a FBS world that never impacted the eyeballs that we needed to in NY & NE. Eke out the win by Rutgers - who never had our excellence in their Athletic Department. Market out distanced ours. It's easy to blame Administration or Blumenthal or other politicians. That's your go to. But the sad story is a ... a good effort did not get us to the finish line. (then Louisville Graft came into the focus) We are like Temple ... like SMU ... like Houston ... like USF/UCF ... and that's why we got lumped together. You can't say we didn't push the case - we are the Number 1 G5 in AD expenditures. [/QUOTE]
