Message: [QUOTE="grepal, post: 5360275, member: 1121"] That is the absolute truth and while we all miss a great hoops program the ONLY ways to have a great athletic program in the long run is to have incredibly wealthy donors who give huge money or a really good football program that lifts every other sport up. The real decision to be made is how many schools will stay on the merry go round. Sure the SEC and Big, Clemson, North Carolins and a couple of wanna be's in FSU and Miami along with a couple of others will stay in the arms race. The other schools will not keep up so will their BOT and Chencellors opt to stay in the game or decide it is no longer worth it. There was a time when the Ivy League and service academy were the center of college football along with Notre Dame. Trust me when I tell you that Yale and Harvard alumnae could care less about the SEC and Big when THE GAME is on. SU is in for an up hill battle. [/QUOTE]
