Message: [QUOTE="SkanSU, post: 149016, member: 53"] I would just be reiterating what everybody else has said ... that football is always the driving force. It is primary in most schools and basketball is an afterthought. Take a look at the realignment ... totally football driven and has subsequently led to the demise of the BE ... which has been, principally, a basketball conference. In the big conferences football is the money dawg. Some schools are able to field/floor both: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, UCLA, Stanford, Ohio State, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, etc. ... but none have consistently demonstrated the ability to sustain both programs at an elite level. If push comes to shove throw the red headed stepchild (basketball) in the back seat. [/QUOTE]
