I think the commitment to basketball angle is underappreciated. Outside the P5/Big East/AAC and certainly ahead of some of the programs in those leagues in terms of investing facilities, amenities, staff, travel, etc. The stuff the fans don't see but are the building blocks of being successful

I don't know how successful would be in the Big East but it's not because the program didn't do it's end investing back into basketball

Rhode Island who's one of the better programs resource wise in the league had Hurley fighting with the administration to get chartered flights to away games so they didn't have to take a 7 hour bus ride to play George Washington and to get a dedicated practice facility the team didn't compete with intramurals
