I am imagine it takes a lot of staff time and effort. I don't know a dollar figure and neither do you. I am not interested in getting into an argument. I rather see the name Duquesne in the NCAA tournament in any sport before civic pride and our name on the floor. Having the tournament does one guaranteed thing - it boosts the resumes for the staff that have worked on it. Let RMU host. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

right, i don't know so I asked - just trying to figure out why anyone would be against it, and still am left to figure it out ... it's not gonna distract Coach Ron or the players ... AD Greg and crew have done nothing to indicate this is something they can't handle, and it is an event universities big and small all over the nation willingly do. I just thought you had some numbers to back you up. (NT) -- Hambone, Tuesday, September 22, 09:04:42am
- I guess all I am saying is that our main focus should be trying to have some winning sports programs and some NCAA tournament appearances. I like the city of Pittsburgh, I live here. I understand it is a good thing for Pittsburgh. Other than staging a big event, what benefit does it bring to advancing the sports programs at Duquesne?
