Message: [QUOTE="Rdkid, post: 4796854, member: 11865"] The great football schools and conferences are great because they and their fanbases live and breathe the sport. You can’t just slap a school name on the front of a basketball jersey and expect their fans to care the same - especially as they are asked to give more and more money to the football program. A bunch of P5 schools have zero basketball fanbase or tradition and never will (what the most negative folks say about UConn fb) That will not sustain a viable 30 game season or what the public has proven they love - a 64-team one and done tourney. That means less money. Basketball is different. The great split will lead to hard football choices and the sport will likely split into a professional class. Professional college bb with a P4 split has no legs. [/QUOTE]
