Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2509861, member: 1609"] We are in an excellent football league. Possibly the best league we ever played in. Every other G5 school and many independents would love to be in our conference in football. I believe the next contract will be suptantially better than the current one. Forget P5 ,football at this level is the only sport with the potential to create enough revenue. to sustain our somewhat bloated athletic department. Yes we support too many teams that generate zero revenue. I know you guys don’t like to hear that ,but that’s the truth. The conference also has made moves to generate additional basketball revenue. Moves they should have done years ago. Our problems in football and basketball are self inflicted ,to blame the conference borders on insanity. Our conference mate ,UCF a team we beat a couple of years ago , won a major bowl this year. Why couldn’t that be us? If you never win how could you possibly know what the revenue potential is. Have we even won a dozen league games in 6 years. Even in basketball if you have a mediocre basketball record why do you suppose more people will come out. Nova of course PC because of their location But Even Georgetown isn’t the draw it once was How exciting are matchups with these team Hall? St John’s DePaul Marquette Butler Xavier [/QUOTE]
