Interesting. First time I've heard that. Now, that is something you can sell to recruits...if you do it right. Always be selling...and sell ANY good news regardless if it has anything to do with the program in question.
Subjective. Depends on what sports interest what fans. As you stated, some say 4, some say 2.
Any sport in which USC competes and competes well should be noted and the accomplishments applauded, regardless of how many fans closely follow an individual sport.
).
They aren't all equal is what I'm saying. And what a conference is most known for, that is what is most important.
Equality is in the eye of the beholder, as also is what's most important. What's important to you is not necessarily what's important to me. And that's okay, one of the benefits of living in a free country
I'm willing to conceded that you and I might not agree on what is important.
But some things make money and support themselves, along with supporting the other entities which help consume that money. Those that are counted on to make money had better be doing pretty well at it.
Amen! This is a thread that should be brought to Finebaum....at least Kornblut!
I absolutely agree with you on this. I will stipulate that football and MBB are very important financially for USC. I assume that WBB is paying it's own way these days, and baseball is paying for most of it's expenses (somewhere north of 50%) presently.I'm willing to conceded that you and I might not agree on what is important.
Most of them do it by having facilities roughly equivalent to the average high school.
Makes sense.
If you were a Kentucky, Duke, or UNC fan, you might hold a slightly different perspective. If we had been as good in basketball over the years as those teams have been, you might hold a different perspective. But we are who we are and we are in the SEC. Football is Job One.
I think he was referring to the post about equestrian, golf... and NO that is my subjective. There isn't a rational person without agenda who would try to convince anyone that national perception of a sports program is affected the same by equestrian as it is by Men's Basketball or football. Same goes for WOMENS basektball vs Men's Basketball or football... or BASEBALL vs MBB or FB... so honestly it simply is not subjective. Two sports rule them all in national attention. Baseball and WBB really don't matter much in the grand scheme of things. People might notice at the time "ohh that is nice that little team from SC who never wins anything did well in baseball/WBB... Isn't that special". And then it is right back to praising Bama and now (as much as it disgusts me) the Taters, because they win at what MATTERS. I love the success across all sports IN CONTEXT but I would trade a thousand women's equestrian Nc and/ or WBB NC for ONE FOOTBALL NC, and that is a FACT.
Because it is more fun to argue on the net than sing songs and get along. Fact, understand it, own it
As I have said before, some people aren't happy unless they have something to bitch about.
Depends on whether or not you are concerned about the national perception and what others think.
