In March 2014 I was on my way from work in Ledyard to New Haven to meet my friend, claim my $400 ticket, and catch the train to NYC for the Sweet 16. The topic Du Jour on WEEI by Michael Holley on the midday show was why Boston area schools (Specifically BC) can't do as well or as consistently as UConn.

For roughly 364 days (or more) of a given year, the programing of every show on EEI was/is dominated by professional sports. Sure, BC is in the ACC and makes a pile of money through that affiliation, but what do they do with it? The ACC benefits through the carriage fees paid by Charter and Spectrum, but what is BC's benefit? The last improvement they made to their facilities that I know of was to Alumni Stadium in 1993 after they upset ND.

Exposure is huge for college athletes. Is the ACC network a premium channel in Boston? Who's paying to watch BC sports in a pro city? IMO, the beginning of the end for BC basketball was in 1996 when admission was denied to Jonathan DePina and Elton Tyler.
