Message: [QUOTE="HuskylnSC, post: 3987635, member: 7953"] make it more difficult for the desired parity to spread. As brand awareness becomes more of a factor in raising an individuals income and public profile, the more marketing aware players (and advisors) will gravitate to the programs that already garner most of the public's attention. Surprise appearances like Arizona in the last tournament will become fewer as the better players seek to leverage the programs media presence into increasing their own media. Recruiters will be armed with statistics like click count per media, commercial and mass media access, and national exposure in wooing the next super stars. Recruiters will provide statistical analysis of how their program will launch the prospective signee into higher draft positions resulting in a lifetime of higher earnings. The geographic bonus of access to mass marketing institutions will become a decision point for players. And Sports Information Directors will move from being an annoying necessity to an integral component of recruiting operations. And Pandora's Box will have been opened a 15 year old kids cross over to become experts in reading a balance sheet. And the most competitive basketball may be found in DII [/QUOTE]
