Message: [QUOTE="BlueDogs, post: 4048111, member: 891"] Nobody is arguing the importance basketball played in getting us there. I remember Tony Hanson playing in the field house, so I probably appreciate what hoops has done as much as anybody. ESPN used the Big East build its empire. They also had no use for it 30 years later as the revenue landscape morphed. No FBS football means small time and you’re on the sidelines. I can love both basketball and football because it’s about the school first, and the school is flagship university, not some regional mid-their university. [/QUOTE]
