Midnight Madness??? . . .

[jllanclos]

I don't know whether to laugh...or cry at the laughingstock our basketball program has become. Aw heck, it's Friday. i choose to laugh! WHAT? It's NOT Friday? Guess I'll cry then. I'm so conflicted!

The sad part is that the students want a Midnight Madness event but the basketball programs want nothing to do with it. Supposedly the University Programs Council (UPC) who sets up all the student events, tried getting one last year but were told NO.

It's a matter of passion level for your own program.

Passion ultimatly translates into wins and losses.

Saw this on another board. Listing for NCAA basketball budgets. We come in at ....(drum roll, please)......#269. Pretty much sums up the current basketball situation.

The only good news is that we are #60 in cost per win at ~$50K/win. A win costs Duke ~$500K.

There wasn't a venue to do it at last year.

Now, if the New Orleans Hornets with millions of dollars of payroll can use a historic Earl K. Long Gym, why can't freshmen, sophmore, junior & senior student athletes utilize a campus facility. LAME EXCUSE.

Invalid excuse.

I think EK was being used too. It was the time of all of the Huricane stuff was going on. Blackham and the dome were not used for those reasons. I am pretty sure that EK was being used as well.

Now this year I will agree. We should have it. Nothing going on a the Dome or EK.
