Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2316624, member: 6761"] Do you actually know this to be a fact? Many schools have small or no college football programs and yet field highly competitive sports teams. Just look at Johns Hopkins in lacrosse or a number of the Ivies in crew, equestrianism, etc. They recruit aggressively and are highly successful yet have relatively small athletic budgets. I'm not trying to compare schools. But I don't think it takes a lot to run a basketball program (little Davidson used to be a top dog in MCBB) and it is such a visible part of the State of Connecticut that I'm sure there were always be funds for it.
