As I leave the room for a while, Upstater;
From the linked ESPN report....
Note...
....Louisville is #54 in combined basketball-football (and BB is Yum money...Cuse puts more fans in seats)
....the top four revenue producing basketball programs are all in the ACC
.....the #10 ranked basketball revenue producer is #71 when basketball and football programs are both ranked on revenue production.
Football doesn't just drive the bus, football owns the transit company.
I like jawing with you, Upstater, but Fishy has made it clear that I have overstayed my welcome. I am taking a break for another month or so....
See ya later alligator.
