Subject: Hoops definitely spreads the word
In reply to: dadominate 's message, "Re: OK..." on 00:54:37 06/18/04 Fri

A long, long, long time ago during my college days, one of my roommates often said that the easiest way to elevate a school's athletic reputation is through basketball success.

He contended that it only takes a couple of real good hoops recruits to get a program off and running, and that the cost of landing those recruits is far less expensive than trying to develop a successful team and reputation in other sports (such as football).

Furthermore, when a small school with a good basketball program plays in the NCAA Tournament, gets paid for doing so, and receives terrific national television exposure, it can perpetuate continued success and even helps other sports.

With HC's rich basketball heritage and fairly recent successes, I can understand why many Saders would like to take the next step up in competition. But, it's unfortunate that such a move could mean HC abandons the PL.
