case in point: at yale the basketball team typically makes money net of expenses if you they get two high profile pay games per annum.
yet you put a 60 year old coach and his 7 ft center , etc on a connecting commercial flight to get to say lawrence kansas.
the revenue is redustributed throughout the athletic dept to fund like 34 sports.
this is very irritating to the coach and player as it should be especially when considering to fill out a schedule they have to do a fair amount of this type of travel.
on nil collectives, i have been disappointed by the bball alums eith means who have expressed little interest at this stage.
i think we need some bad catalysts (transfers and/or this d2/d3 possibility to heat up) to get real momentum unfortunately and even then it might take time.
