I am saying that those are the only 4 teams that normally are solid teams. Temple is having their first non NCAA team since signing with UA
Maryland is having trouble replacing an iconic coach for the school. St Johns isn't very good in general and actually improving under UA. Boston College was on a decline before they signed a deal with UA at the ending of the Skinner years

So all these schools had success before signing the UA agreement? When did they sign on, and what were their records before/after? Curious, as I really don't know.

I am saying those schools are really the only "basketball schools" yet only Maryland had consistent success pre change. BC and Maryland both lost their high acheiving coaches, St Johns only made the tourny once in the 10 years before the deal

Temple on the other hand has significantly improved under UA. Despite not making the tourny from 2002-2008, they made the tourny every year 2009-2013

Sorry but I am not taking the time to look up and compare records. I can put down who made the tourny and who changed coaches though.

Under Armour is taking any school that will have them at a relatively decent price. They have a hard time going toe to toe consistently with Nike and Addidas for big time basketball programs. Especially since their focus is football first.

Put it this way, if Underarmour signed Kansas, Duke and Arizona, those three teams would still continue to be top 10 teams
