    I’ll believe it when I see it. If the team is good, people will show up. That’s all it really comes down to imo.

    Yep and if Pitino doesn't put together a team for next year that the average fan has reason to believe is going to be able to compete at the top of the BE, you will see a drop in season ticket sales. Apathy is going to set it.

    Agree with that. However, there are a lot of programs where the fans even supported the team pretty well when they weren't winning. I think you will see that far less when there's also no real longer term connection to the players and the fans know that all the good players are leaving anyway.

    That’s probably fair. Who are these teams though? Having a hard time thinking of any

    Sources told Musketeer Report that Conwell is fielding offers ranging from $1.5 million to $2 million in compensation from other programs.
    The new rules on revenue sharing can't get here soon enough.

    (NARRATOR: The new rules on revenue sharing never arrived due to endless lawsuits over Title IX and Anti-Trust.)

    LOL, for a good college player who has not shot at the NBA? F this. I'm close to being done. This is insanity.
