Message: [QUOTE="Guapo, post: 2422693, member: 8179"] I understand that, we are all worried. I don't mean to minimize the situation we are in conference wise, however I think the money disparity is a bigger deal in football than basketball. There is a long history of basketball programs from smaller schools competing with the big football schools. Ollie is still landing 4 star recruits and Gilbert was a McD's AA. Imagine what we could do after a run in the tourney? As I've stated before, we have the facilities and the brand (though we need successful seasons in the very near future to keep that equity up). If push ever came to shove, I'm confident that the administration would do everything it could, including making some very hard choices within the Athletic Department, in order to keep funding for the basketball program competitive. Long story short; it's a challenge but other schools have shown that it is a challenge that can be overcome. [/QUOTE]
