CLT is a real mystery. From Cornbread Maxwell thru the 90's they were a very promising Bball team. Not sure why the bottom fell out, but they've never bounced back. Now I'm not so sure they are moving forward in footbal. What has happened to their athletic Dept.?


I'm old enough to remember they made the Final Four in the late 70's. I've always thought that they have had a lot of the same challenges ODU has had. Urban campus in a large city shadowed by ACC schools, and don't have a lot of deep multi-generational fan following. I have two close friends, both Charlotte alums, who have minimal interest in their alma mater, they are both staunch Tar Heel fans because they grew up being Tar Heel fans. It's also not helped that they have had a lot of coaching turnover in men's hoops.
