Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2271078, member: 7492"] Charlie- I like that idea and maybe this is where the more astute, marketing savvy schools who have motivated support groups could be employed. One observation though, most weekdays would be eliminated for theses programs. It's one thing for parents to takes the kid to the game from home-Univ-home, quite another to bring kid to central local location, take bus/van/car pool to game-back to local location for pickup after the game. Also on the weekends is when these programs play so it would require very motivated organizing leadership team. Now for this FIBA tournament, they had time to organize that type of effort and attendance, you would think was a reason they were awarded this tournament to grow the game. Then again, FIBA is a European organization so who knows why this was awarded to Italy. [/QUOTE]
