Has nothing to do with the strength of your league in 2019.

I will given them this, c-usa has a few more programs than the Sun Belt that actually try and invest in basketball. they are just not good enough at it to produce better results.

So do you doubt that the SBC was better with WKU and MTSU in it during its time? MTSU was an automatic qualifier several years ago and beat Michigan State in the NCAA. They were becoming one of the better mid major teams out there until Kermit Davis left. WKU was ranked this year and got one of the best freshmen in the country to play there this year. They consistently recruit well and are a player in the mid major landscape. Lets not forget that we had a healthy dislike for both schools which made for great storylines and mini-rivalries. I'd pay money to go see us play WKU or MTSU in the dome rather than App State.

But uh, what exactly is the athletic department doing to make basketball a top mid-major? How can you expect our basketball program to achieve like a top mid-major when we don’t fund it like a mid-major? How can you expect us to generate buzz when we don’t market the program at all until after football season ends? I like Maggard, but it is abundantly clear that all the money and manpower is being put towards football.

If you want to know why the Sun Belt has gone from a decent basketball conference in the 90’s to a terrible one today, it is because every Sun Belt school has collectively decided football matters more.

They are playing in as an 11 seed while Marlin is sitting at home playing with his wang

LOL...

Turbine, seriously? It would be nice to hear the real story as to why you changed the title although not sure any of us will get it..

Just curious, Why does it matter that the thread name was changed?...everyone here knows Marlin isn’t getting fired than offseason, hence the “NOW”

It would matter in the sense of whether there is pressure from the administration to change it. Everyone knows it won't happen but it was started by a poster who had an opinion. You don't have to agree with the opinion but the point of changing it to appease others seems off especially when the opinion is not violating any type of forum rules or etiquette.
