could care less about the basketball program? Just finish above 500, fill up some seats, keep the program clean and make the tournament every so often.



It affects football recruiting. Need a great basketball program for the prospects to go watch

Most of the big money donors to football don’t give a rats arse about the basketball program. There is a subset of basketball boosters that do but they had to literally threaten Battle with cutting off their money if he didn’t fire Grant when he reluctantly did. I’m sure the university’s position hasn’t changed.
