Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 5106672, member: 1023"] I honestly think, and have heard from alums I know who are more recent grads, that Georgetown cares about athletics, but not that much. They see themselves as the Catholic Ivy even if the real Ivies don’t see them that way. LOL. They really don’t want to be embarrassed in athletics, but they don’t need to be NCAA Champs to be happy either. The occasional bid would be fine. It is much more of a Ivy Patriot League world view. Maybe it is partly that if you graduated from Georgetown over the last 15-20 years, you really haven’t experienced much more than that. And basketball is no longer “a thing” on campus. I’ve always thought a long history of bad teams can really hurt because when students don’t care, that Carrie’s over to when they are alumni. They simply have other connections to the school. And you can’t rebuild that with 1 good season. [/QUOTE]
