Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 5101720, member: 9841"] The criteria has to be adjusted based on the sport. Normally I’d require a program be able to maintain an elite status over the course of more than one coach, even though not necessarily back to back tenures. However with the relative youth of women’s basketball that is obviously impossible. Another big factor I’ve always required of a blue blood is fan support. That is what normally makes a blue blood program desirable to a prominent coach. I’m not talking just numbers at games but individuals actually engaged in the program. I’m torn regarding a national title but I’d lean towards at least one being a requirement. To not would require unique circumstances such as Florida State in baseball. [/QUOTE]
