We are a football school

[puppylove_sugarsteel]

Making the tourney 50% of the time IS abundance.

HTH.

At a power conference school? It's average, at best.

And we're below 50% at this poont.

But I know you're just trolling.

Please name all the power conference schools that have good football teams AND make the tourney on a regular basis.

Hint: there's not very many

That is a cop-out if I ever heard one. Making the tourney isn't that hard...and its probably not the best time to start this discussion with Florida being the current #1. Every conference has a couple teams good at both...Michigan, Florida, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas, Michigan State, etc. to name a few...it ain't that hard. If fact its harder to put it together on the football side.

But I'll be honest...I couldn't give a flip what the BBall team does if our football team is good.

They're the exception, not the rule.

Great sample size though.

Huh? I named 7 of the top of my head and I don't follow College Basketball...you can add Louisville, UCLA, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, and Baylor to that list as well if it makes you feel better. Basketball isn't that hard...the lazy way is just hiring a sleezebag coach that pays off AAU guys for recruits. I'm sure some people have a cleaner way to do it...heck even Oregon seems to be figuring it out. Its more a resource issue...BBall doesn't bring in the $$ the way football does so Athletic Departments don't care as much about it. Romar would be on the hot seat today if his crappy teams the last couple of years were costing the athletic department $10MM/yr...they aren't. When the stands get empty enough he'll decide to retire and we'll see what Pool Boy brings in next. If he cares, he'll spending the money and get a coach and have expectations. If he doesn't we'll get more of the same.

That a babe houston. Good chit
