Men's BB is a very big deal for our U....and success is defined one way for us, filled Arena seats, the NCAAs regularly.....success in the NCAAs. Seems to me that a new president (who comes to us from a big-time BB school) would support just about any decision his AD would make toward those ends. Right?
In my opinion.....opinion....the most important thing UD can/should do is to produce teams that are consistently dominant in the A10....the clear-cut cream of the crop winning the regular season and tournament consistently. A tall order? The A10 is not the BE or the Big Ten or the ACC. Demonstrating dominance in our own respectable conference combined with solid OOC performance is the ticket to where we want to be....in my opinion. If we do that the rest will take care of itself.

FWIW, I do not blame Neil, I think this budgeting decision is being made above him at the highest level: the level of President Spina/the university board of trustees. I think that Neil has no control over this at all, just my opinion.
