Great article. Sad in a way, but I do believe Toledo fans would return the favor if and when we make it.
We have lost a lot of fans.

i don't believe UT has lost fans, but they have moved out of the area, too far to attend games. Haven't done a good enough job creating new fans. The scandals(betting and Cross) really did some damage. For years, UT didn't keep pace with the Butlers, Xaviers, and Daytons.
Yeah I can agree to a lot of this.
I moved away but I attend when I can. At least one home game a year, and I always see UT @ NIU

All three are private institutions though....

Which really has nothing to do with their consistent ability to put talent
on the basketball court.
Also, all three don't have D1 football.
Xavier doesnt even have football.
I believe all three coaches are paid much higher than Toledo's.

Being in a perceived better conference does and part of the reason that have higher visibility is a private school bias
In any case, the original question has been answered: not this year.

For sure. A lot them that were cheering on the Rockets the last time they were in the NCAA died years ago.
