I thought it was interesting that NASCAR would be showing on Fox Sports in place of NBE basketball games. Fox Sports is poorly viewed for NBE basketball, but when those games get moved to Fox Sports 2 channel, or whatever they call it, it's like being sentenced to the Siberian Gulag of college basketball.
Look at the coaches who were just hired into the NBE. There is a statement there.
Look at what happened in the NCAA Tournament despite the over-seeding of NBE teams. The OBE teams like Notre Dame and Louisville showed why they carried the reputation of that league.
Look at Dayton's success in the two years since the NBE was formed. Is it just a coincidence? 53-19 overall, 23-11 in the conference, 5-2 in the NCAA tournament (tournament wins over OSU, Syracuse, Stanford, Boise State and Providence) with runs to the Elite Eight and Third Round. An unprecedented number of games carried on national broadcasts. Dayton is becoming a familiar name on the national scene. Is this us suffering because we are not in the NBE? I've never been so hyped up for UD basketball. It feels like the program went on steroids. Sign me up for more. Being left out of the NBE may be the best thing that ever happened to us.
