Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 439031, member: 2585"] The other thing I don't get is why it matters if you're known as a basketball school or a football school? I get where an AD directs the money is important, but too much importance is placed on what "type" of school you are. It reflects poorly on coaches, right? "I'm going to school x because they are a football school" sounds like "My ego can't take being the 2nd biggest coach on campus". I think Ohio State, Michigan, Florida - and us, of course - have shown that you can be both. It should be seen as a good reason to go to a school, as it lifts the national perception of all of your athletic programs. Sorry for the slightly off-topic rant. My thoughts on Strong/Jurich is that Strong would be silly not to use the "we'll match whatever an SEC school offers" as leverage for a bigger contract. That's what I would do - then stay at Louisville and continue what I started. [/QUOTE]
