Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 303797, member: 338"] I wonder if Gross would have pursued those games had he known we were going to be in the ACC. It all smacks of money to me. To rebuild the program we needed money. Had everything else remained the same, and had we not got into the ACC, I think it would have been the smart move to go for the $ via big games at a neutral site. Better to go for what you know you can get than to hold out hope that the home fans are going to step up. As you just said, we had attendance issues even when we were successful. At some point you have to admit that the home fans can't, or won't, get you where you want to be. The core of die-hards get hit, sure. But unless they are willing to shoulder the entire funding burden themselves, well, there it is. [/QUOTE]
