To me it is amazing that many basketball fans feel threatened by the success of other sports, particularly football.  But you see an undercurrent for women’s basketball ( not real basketball, would lose to D3 stuff like that) and I’ve heard similar “concerns” about hockey which I suspect will get louder if that team starts to get really competitive.  I don’t know how many people I’ve heard complain that having a football team “ruined” the basketball program, as if Kevin Ollie never existed…and as if it is a zero sum game.  The other thing that amazes me is that some of the folks who say this nonsense worked at fairly high levels in the athletic department…The final thing is that they simply don’t get that on the national scene basketball is a secondary sport.  There are people who somehow think that the basketball team in the new Big East will get a media deal that is better than what the Big 12 will get Even minus Texas and Oklahoma.
