Waite, here is some info for you about Alabama:
-Arena built in 1968, renovated in 2005. Construction cost under $30M on 2016 dollars.
-3 coaches since 2009
-No conference championships since 2002
-No conference tournament championships since 1991
-1 NCAA Tournament bid since 2006
-0 Final Fours
-1 Sweet 16 since 1991
-In a conference that had 2 teams in the field of 64 last year (Vanderbilt lost a play-in game)
-Probably the #1 example in all of College sports when it comes to being a football school first and foremost. That impacts money spent on the program and fan support.
-And I believe JaMychal Green is their only current NBA player
...
But you're trying to tell us that NONE of this matters and we should expect to be ourecruited by them every single year bc of "landscape"? Give me a break!!!!!!!!
