“Parity” is far too often the excuse used to explain the loss by a “traditional power” to a have-not. Somehow, I don’t think SU fans would console themselves if you lost to Bingo by saying, “It’s good for the growth of the game,” any more than UVa fans did when we lost to High Point. There won’t be true parity until the non-powers consistently spend as much on their teams as the powers do. [U]That’s[/U] what makes you a power. The Ivies go through cycles; first it was Cornell, then they dropped off and it was Princeton, then the administration clamped down on Tierney, they fell off and Yale may be taking their place. Loyola won with a senior-laden team and is struggling to get back. Denver is a power now because they invested big money for Tierney and facilities to draw kids to their school.

I think the change in the recruiting rules will hurt the non-powers much more than the timer rule will. Now, everyone is recruiting at the same time, and there will be far fewer “late bloomers” for the have-nots to build around.
