re: NC ST vs UA BB

There's no doubt that the Wolfpack has been down for some years, but they have two national titles and many deep tournament runs on their resume. It's quite obvious the resources are available, even in a deep conference, for success at NC State.

That all being said, success can be attainable at Alabama as well. Gottfried had it early on in his tenure at UA. Wimp Sanderson's career is well documented as well. CM Newton is a more distant example.

I think a new facility is needed to take the progam to new heights, that an athletic department as profitable as Alabama should expect. The right hire could do that.
