I'm just saying you can do both. I don't know why this sec thing where you can only invest or do one thing. You are either football or basketball school

The big ten does that considerably better than the sec. their top football programs are good basketball programs to. Wisconsin and mich state are elite basketball programs with damn good football programs. Ohio state and michigan are good too

I don't know why schools like Georgia auburn, etc just suck. Conisistently. There is money to be made in basketball

A lot of SEC teams have invested in name coaches. It's going to take a few years to turn it around. Pearl has gotten off to a slow start, mostly because of injuries last year, but he's signing the best recruiting classes we've ever had. Also, MSU has Howland, SC has Martin, Bama has Avery, etc. It's going to take time, but the conference is on the upswing.

or, you're a school like lsu that makes significant revenue in baseball. I can use the same comment against the Big10 and baseball except they are god awful in baseball.

and, btw, the Big10 just started moving back into a powerful football conference. They blew chunks for too many years (and this is based on your logic).

But, back to the original point. LSU makes significant revenue in football and baseball. I'd guess that they break even in men's basketball. I, more than most, am a big Tiger hoops fan. I want them to do well. But, no matter how good they do, they'll play reserve fiddle to the top dogs.
