Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 280060, member: 331"] I think it has a lot to do with how powerful coaches have become. Coaches are allowed to help ensure their job security by playing lesser teams. Not just a basketball issue and will ultimatley hurt college sports and the attendence of games. Yesterday Butch Jones was lamenting the poor season ticket sales for UC football. Home games against Northwestern State, Fordham and Miami (OH) will do that to you. Even though Miami is a traditional rival, they are a MAC school and UC fans could really care less. Kind of like SU playing Colgate. UC also sold their home game against Virginia Tech to FedEx Field in Washington DC. I expect a lot of crickets in that stadium for that game, or maybe a bunch of Tech fans at best. Do these schools really expect you to pay the same amount for a game against Pitt as Fordham? [/QUOTE]
