I appreciate your response, but that's kind of an odd answer. None of our SAs play for anything other than pride (scholly/stipend aside). Is basketball playing for cash and prizes? Or are you referring to the post-season? And if so, how is (best-case scenario) a second-round NCAA game better than a CUSA bowl?

Basketball always has a far fetched chance to win a championship. Football can go undefeated and still not win anything but a nice bowl game.

I'd still take a bowl win over an FCS national title, which sounds great when you're in FCS, but not when you move up. The only reason anyone pays attention to the FCS playoffs is if a school wins a bunch of them, like App State or North Dakota State. It was a fine goal for a program at that level, but we've moved on.
