I know a lot of people think that football hurt men's basketball but I'm not 100% sure about that.

There is no question in my mind that the start of football has had a significantly negative impact on ODU's Men's Basketball program. In my opinion, ODU would be playing in the Atlantic 10 the past few seasons if not for football.

What on earth leads you to believe the Atlantic 10 would want four teams from the state of Virginia? And as far as football hurting basketball, when is BB bringing UNC, Wake Forrest, NC State, UVA ect. to campus?

What on earth leads you to believe that if the Atlantic 10 didn't want four teams from the state of Virginia that ODU would not have been among the three that they did want (if not for football)?

All of the schools you listed have already traveled to Norfolk to play ODU in men's basketball. The following schools have also done so -

Alabama
Auburn
Baylor
BYU
Depaul
East Carolina
GA Tech
Georgetown
Indiana
Kansas State
Maryland
Mississippi State
Missouri
Navy
SMU
South Carolina
Syracuse
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
VA Tech
