Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 23548, member: 837"] I think the BET is a huge loss -- certainly in a selfish way since i'm not going to greensboro -- but also from a recruiting and identity standpoint. You don't think being on ESPN with the shots of NYC and buildings lit up in Orange, etc. is attractive to recruits? And it's not just NYC kids that like the idea of playing in the Garden. Ask Melo. I get your point, and agree we'll be OK. I just think it's hard to simply bank on 33K for Clemson. Or NC State. Or Wake. Or GT. Those crowds came in part because of the tradition and regional bad blood with teams like GTown, UConn, Nova and even to a lesser extent with the Johnnies. [/QUOTE]
