Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1777840, member: 39"] I'm not faulting anyone for looking at it differently than I do. In fact, I understand that most do and completely get the educational side of it. I went to college too, and value what I received while at SU. But I have a lot of friends at the mid-major level - coaching basketball and a number of other sports. And I have seen first hand how these types of things can affect careers and lives. In every other sector of life/business, if a director from the top earning and most popular arm of my mid-sized firm left to take a job at a Fortune 500 company, nobody could blame her/him and the board/CEO would understand and go out and hire someone else at 80-85% capacity. Problem is that isn't necessarily possible in college basketball. And whether everyone likes it or not, it is absolutely a business as well as an educational tool. [/QUOTE]
