Every school in the midwest is lowering enrollment - there are just fewer high school students. Be excited we are adding a medical school!

Oh yay! Who cares?

Please do not bring back Mack.

Basketball is intrinsically tied to the school's identity. As far as enrollment, many small, private schools are hurting for students. I have no inside information but just assuming that the administration knows this and addressing it, including steps like the medical school.

This is probably a stupid question but what about taking the fundraising you do for the endowment and funnel it into an NIL fund. I know you cannot use existing endowments for NIL but what about new contributions? Now maybe a lot of alums would be up in arms but I'm guessing a fair amount would understand, because basketball was one of the reasons they went to X.

Well, if you love Xavier, you want to see the university thrive in all aspects. Adding a medical school is a very big deal that will also help to address the shortage of doctors we have. Basketball is fun and brings us all together but ultimately Xavier is a university and not a pro sports franchise.

This attitude is where declines start.

When "we're a University first, our jobs is to educate" becomes the narrative to cover up athletic mis-steps. Scary narrative to hold onto. It's almost always a way to save face for failures.

The incompetence of the NCAA and the Wild West of NIL has essentially made D1 universities pro sports franchises.

It's amazing how people don't realize the impact basketball has had on this university.

[xudash]

Not sure you quite understand the impact the basketball program has had on rise of the university.

The school doesn't survive long term without a thriving and ever improving basketball program.

I actually believe I understand that as well as anybody.

Damn this sucks I thought when Miller came back he would be here for a long while. The grass isn't always green on the other side I thought he learned getting fired from Arizona.

He played us.

Fake crocodile tears for self serving purposes. He was never learning a lesson, he was just being an asshat.
