Message: [QUOTE="HobokenHusky, post: 4717417, member: 2340"] Call me naive, but I still think something is up - as a university we at least think there is still a move to be made here. It seems dire in this instant but in the grand scheme of things if something happens by December you look back on it in 10 years and don't even remember the gap. Like others have said - in a world moving to subscriptions our basketball brand is an eye catcher - even if our fanbase is regional, we are a marquee name for opponents, and a matchup with Uconn vs [insert blue blood or hot team] makes for compelling viewing. Football in another animal seems to be a drawback in the current moment, but it also exists, which keeps us in the running at least. As others have said if we can show at least stability you hope a conference is willing to (maybe reluctantly) take the chance on the football side of things to get the basketball. [/QUOTE]
