And this again shows you the flaws of the ETSU athletic department, and how far they have fallen, when you get these people in the administration who seemingly think they can stuff soccer down our throat and we'll just happily swallow it and the interest will be there on a par to the men's basketball team.

If you can't understand the flaw in that, you might as well just go home because you're not going to have any credibility outside of the offices in The Vault of Victory.

Again, Pitt you just don't get it. Just because the fans place a premium on the basketball program doesn't mean the AD ignores other sports. The athletic dept. is part of the University. Every student athlete is of equal value to the dept. All team's successes are equally worthy. You don't have to appreciate it, but Mullins does. It is his job to administrate the entire program not just basketball. I fully understand fan interest, but that has no bearing on an AD's role. Athletic administration all across the country will agree with me, not you. Mullins cannot focus solely on basketball even if that would make you happy. He must focus on the dept. as a whole and celebrate the totality of successes and not single out individual teams as better than others. Just because something is popular does not prove it is of greater value.
