Mike this poll only confirmed my view that MBB is now considered a minor sport at UL. A coach just has to be mediocre, and have nice, polite young men who go to classes.

As VO pointed out the lowest money generating sport among sports that are supposed to generate money. In most universities baseball, and softball should not be in the top three, here we are.

Lower than baseball or softball in sport specific donations; still second to football in revenue.

I suspect the results will be different a year from now with a 10 and 8 conference record. Results this year were somewhat impacted by low expectations going in. While you may have expected more this year, the great majority of people did not. Many if not most predicted a losing season and some predicted a season of disaster. That was based on having only three returning players and five freshman playing. They have to improve next season to maintain support and they know it.

Nope. Might change now with the new park, but we usually end up breaking even, or just shy.

Boxes, patio boxes, suites and advertising.. Those things alone, I believe, will turn a profit.
