I think they certainly can compete with the power state schools, but it's tough. You need to be a wealthy private school to be able to keep up with the expenses of salaries, travel, paying lesser teams and facilities. Most private schools have basketball teams, but not football teams. The other thing that private schools can have is location.  Miami is a hotbed for recruits so will always be relevant. USC has money and location. TCU and baylor have location

We have neither and are scrapping along based on our tradition and that people still believe in that tradition. They're have long been the arguments that we probably should have gone the way of the Ivy's and colgate. We keep hoping for a generous donor to help take up our cause and give us facilities.

It's going to be tough sledding for us, duke, vandy, and BC. That doesn't mean we give up, but sometimes that perspective is helpful. Same is true for state schools with little money and poor location.
