Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 1211918, member: 271"] Yep. I'd much rather go down swinging than have a guy in place that isn't trying. Fortunately, there is a lot of money to be made on college sports and I think there may actually be a P6 or even P7 some day to take advantage. Cincinnati belongs, as do several others and there isn't a fair or reasonable way to delineate who should and shouldn't be in. I think it is well worth it for all G5 schools that want in to try to get in if they feel it is worth the risk to make the financial investments needed. If those investments are made, your paid employees should certainly be working every room, angle, meeting, conference, interview and media/social media hard. I don't feel UCONN works all angles hard enough so we either know where we are going or our administration needs to get it together. We do some great stuff but our day to day small scale promotion, press releases, social media presence, ticket sales creativity and aggressiveness and other factors are lacking. In other words, why aren't Warde Manuel or Susan Herbst working the way this guy is? Not saying they aren't doing a good job, I like both a lot. I just hope they are playing the game the right way. If Cincy gets in somewhere over us, you'll have to look at this guy's efforts and wonder if he got it done with hustle. [/QUOTE]
