Realignment impact on hoops?

I am starting to worry about what it means for hoops if every resource for the next decade is put to football at the expense of everything else in order to give ourselves the best chance in Phase 2. I think that's a very real possibility.
You think the admin and AD really care enough about football to put the resources needed into it? I am skeptical, at best.

I think that they'll act poor to justify putting only bare bones resources and effort into all other sports and say they're doing everything they can to fund football - and the football spend won't be on facilities, marketing or organizational infrastructure but wasted on overpaying the market value for the coaching staff & buying out bad contracts. I think this because that's what I have seen post Champions Center.
 
2002 and 1995 CU WBB made it to the elite eight. In 1993, 94, and 97 they made it to the sweet16.
'95 was the year I was thinking about probably, they made a run, hard to finish. It isn't much different than styles make fights. They do. Same goes for other sports. Just didn't have quite enough to get further.

95 was the year that CU was favored to make it to their first final four but got upended by Georgia in the elite 8. That was the one that got a lot of coverage so probably was the one you are remembering.

I remember, I was thinking '93 but oh well. Film can tell you plenty about who you are playing against. You get out, whether it's court, field, track, you might be surprised. Sometimes the film does lie, gotta be better about 40 minutes.
 
93 was the season we upset defending national champion Stanford in Missoula then got run out of the gym by Texas Tech, who did win the national championship.

I will always think 95 could have turned out differently if Deb Jacobsen had not gotten injured and didn't play in Des Moines (and some games before). The players made a few bone headed plays and because of a player calling a time out, Ceal had none left at the end of the game.
 
I love the idea of the Big 12 where it comes to basketball and given the national coverage of a "Big 16" if the Four Corners schools were to join. My question is where would the Big 16 have their conference tourneys at? I don't think it's going to be Vegas since it would be long flights for some schools out there.

I would play it in San Antonio

Denver
 
Big East expansion is on the table and their Commish said they wouldn't be staying at 11.

Georgetown (DC)
St. John's (NY)
Providence (RI, near Boston)
Seton Hall (NJ/Newark)
Villanova (Philly)
UConn (CT)
Xavier (Cincy)
Butler (Indy)
DePaul (Chicago)
Marquette (Milwaukee)
Creighton (Omaha)

They're all Catholic city universities except for UConn. But that UConn profile leads to my favorite add.

VCU (VA/Richmond)

I don't think they go Loyola-Chicago since they're already in that market. So I'll guess they get to 14 with 2 more Midwest metro Catholic universities.

St. Louis (STL)
Dayton (Dayton/ N. OH)

There's also always talk about Gonzaga, but the Commish said travel will be a factor.

I think what they'd really like to see happen is for schools like Duquesne (Pburgh), Detroit Mercy and Holy Cross (Boston) to step up so they were ready in case UConn left for a football conference.
