My guess is that for whatever reason the previous president never really even considered it and the current president is thinking “Why the hell aren’t we doing this?”

You can bet on these games, so that's one thing going for it.

Thanks! It has been hard but the good Lord has truly blessed me with a wonderful family and excellent medical care. Lymphedema and taste bud issues remain but I am alive to post. In the scheme of things, basketball and football are not that important but remain fun to talk about.

Thank you, 82! Bottom of my original post in this thread referenced my cancer journey. Over the decades, I have posted about Xavier football as I grew up on it. An uncle, Joe King, played football at X in the 1920's and he is a member of the Legion of Honor. My father played as a freshman before going off to the WWII. I was very involved with the club team after its inception. Tomorrow marks the 58th anniversary of the afternoon when I was struck by a car and left in a coma for eleven days. I was only 10 years old, If my football team had had practice that day then I wouldn't have been where the accident occurred. The brain contusion ended my football career and changed my life. As much as I miss Xavier football, I know there are way many more important things in life. As I previously stated, I am blessed. Go Muskies!!

XU did? Or St X High School? St X had a $50M gift in February (Thanks Mr. Fath) but I hadn't seen the XU news on a gift that size.
