In my opinion, the only difference is ODU is not in the A10. If we had access to multiple bids and games on actual TV, recruiting and interest would improve. If we played regional teams like VCU, Richmond, GMU and GW fan and student engagement would be much greater. I have no doubt ODU would quickly, if not immediately be a top 5 team regularly in the A10 with at least double the frequency of NCAA appearances.

The only failure on ODUs part, is not getting us in the A10. The failure of Judy to secure an actual media package to include at least regional television has really hurt too. Otherwise, the only difference between us and them is the patch sewn on the jersey and the benefits that come with it, and the sewage smell, and the arena seats geared towards plumber's crack.
