We play basketball?

You know if we shut down the basketball program and funneled all of the money we spend on that yearly into other sports, I can guarantee you we would perform a lot better in a few of our weaker olympic sports. Baseball facilities could use some upgrades, I wonder how much of Brady's salary will cover those...hmm

Are there any fbs schools that don't sponsor hoops? I can't think of any.

Its cost effective, and an easy way to pair a Mens and Womens sport together for Title IX. Unfortunately ASU basketball is a shell of its former self in both Mens and Womens, and both are doing nothing more then drain money that could easily be shelled into sports like football.
