Message: [QUOTE="DFW HOYA, post: 5322319, member: 597"] Men's basketball exists in its own orbit at Georgetown; for example, the head coach does not report to the athletic director but the University president. (Georgetown has employed an interim president for the past 14 months, so that kicks all the big decisions on the program to his successor, who is not due until next July.) Its budget is the second largest in the conference while its results are not commensurate. It has one NCAA post-season win since 2012. Secondarily, the program is not marketed by the University, as those empty seats will attest. Average attendance was 5,659 per game last season, second only to DePaul. DC fans have a lot of pro (and college) teams competing for their attention and will not automatically flock to Georgetown. These are issues which need institutional attention. [/QUOTE]
