Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4413284, member: 1023"] Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. You know what? Nobody cares about Saragin ratings when they are writing checks. They care about names, tradition and tan bases. And nobody cares about Seton Hall and Butler and DePaul and even St John’s now. It’s why theNEWBIE almost always loses head to head in its time slot against the Big and ACC. People know who Michigan or North Carolina are. Creighton might be in the NEWBIE or is it the MVC? Is it in Illinois or Nebraska or maybe North Dakota? And for what it’s worth the reason UCF and Cincinnati and Houston got lucky is they all focused on having successful FOOTBALL programs. They didn’t sell them out to “ protect” basketball. They understood that having good football would and could lead to basketball success. You know, like how 4 teams have won national championships in basketball who didn’t play D1 football since 1982 and UConn in 1999 started the following season. I’m hopeful that Dave and Mora have a plan to go forward. If not we are likely to be left way behind in the next decade. [/QUOTE]
