No doubt the three schools mentioned have been way more successful than UD over the past decades, plus. Nonetheless, they are peer programs....and UD is coming off four consecutive trips to the NCAAs....unimaginable ten years ago.
Also, we are among the very best in attendance and in two years or so we will, once again, have one of the very best college facilities in the nation.
What the three have accomplished that UD has not is the ability to breeze through the inevitable coaching changes without skipping a beat. Attention Neil Sullivan.....there is a strong message there. After our four year NCAA run we are, yet again, in "start over" mode.
That is not acceptable if our goal is to match the performance of our top "peers". Continuity and consistency are critical...and we have neither, yet.
