Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4250468, member: 3609"] WRT basketball, if I'm Bama, or LSU or Texas putting up big bucks to pay for football, basketball, and baseball/softball in the semi-pro division, I'll be damned if I'm going to let Duke get away with just paying a fraction of what I'm putting out to just their basketball players. Besides, all the OADs and 5-stars are going to the semi-pro division (their line of thinking). Yes, Duke-UNC is a big rivalry in the present paradigm, but who says that another rivalry, like Oklahoma-Texas just to pick out two teams, can't be just as intense in the new paradigm? It's more than 9 miles, but it's just as vehement. [/QUOTE]
