So let me ask you a couple of questions:

You're saying there was A fund-raising campaign for waterfront stadium, right?

Did you contribute to it? You don't see to much like football program.

If you did, what did ODU say when you asked for your money back?

Your low opinion of Selig seems very personal to me, very personal. Moreso than others here who are critical. No one else has called him a little weasel, among other insults. What's the back story?

At this point you have no credibility with me or, I guess, many others on here. I recall you citing some source regarding the basketball program. I also remember it turning out not to be accurate.

Uh, no, I never claimed a source in the basketball program? You have me confused with someone else.

I think maybe he confused that with your stated source within the A10?

I guess you can classify it as exposure, but that exposure was perpetuating the idea that ODU is a crappy little program that shocked the world. We were UMBC not VCU. Build the basketball program to its potential, and there is almost a zero percent chance that football can come close to the brand building that basketball can if both realize their potential.

College football is by orders of magnitude a bigger deal than college basketball. The TV ratings and media deals bear it out. Early-season football games are still big deals. Unless it's a 1-vs-2 or blood rivalry kind of game, you're not getting that kind of interest or rating for a regular-season basketball game. Things pick up in March, of course, but football in September is a far bigger deal than basketball in December.

Point being, even if ODU basketball can go further in its sport than football, football, by virtue of being on a larger stage, has the potential for more impact in the sports world as a whole. ESPN gave good coverage to ODU's win against VT, but also that wacky finish against WKU and even Heinicke's zillion-yard game against New Hampshire. Way more than it has for anything ODU basketball has done. And while Sportscenter attention is not the only metric, it's a fair leading indicator, I think.

This is accurate. I've posted similar stats within the past six months. Something along the lines of football provides more media dollars for schools than the next eight sports combined, including basketball. I'll try and make a point to find that again later today to make sure my recollection is correct.

RE: MonarchBlue's crappy little program, what would the natl exposure been had we held on vs UVA and beaten 2 ranked P5s in consecutive years (yeah yeah, wish in one hand and **** in the other)

I do get the point that BB can go farther in a Cinderlla story year that FB can, but as someone else pointed out those are 1/50 or worse.

I don't think you get the point. Basketball has the potential to become a top 40 program that is top 25 some years, and make the tournament most years.. Football has the potential to become LA Tech, who nobody gives a crap about outside of CUSA cares about. We would have to move to AAC to do any better than that. Basketball, on the other hand, has seen numerous mid majors break out and become nationally recognizable brands... Football...well there is Boise State I guess.

Some of y'all are delusional about how little the rest of the world cares about CUSA, MAC, Sunbelt football.

Im curious...what all would have to change for us to be a top 40 basketball school? In the last 3 decades, we've been considered at top 40 school exactly one time. Where does all the potential come from that no one can realize?

I think you overestimate how many people care about basketball. College hoops is probably my favorite sport; but LT in football draws in a lot more than a good mid major basketball school. And more people care about LT football than they do Witchita State or Temple or whatever other decent mid major schools.

He's got an alert for the mention of the word Temple I presume. You can setup a google alert for keywords or you can just do a search and then bookmark the URL.

Then just check that at the end of every day and see where you need to assert your G5 dominance!

They will never get answered, which is why he avoided them in the first response.
