Really, where's that "more evidence"? MBB just made that one of your most ill informed observations of this whole campaign of yours ....

Men’s basketball just showed that winning the conference and being on the longest winning streak means nothing to the nation and getting into championship playoffs. Are you saying that it means we can get 11k people to care about the aac? We already know that’s possible and for football not enough.

2 aac teams made the NCAA tournament ....  how many independent teams got in?

Play people new no matter who! Tampa has spoken repeatedly on how it values the aac, it doesn’t and is never going to.

How many teams are independent in basketball? Back the the Beast for them.

You just aren’t going to get 40k people to care about these teams, no one has done it anywhere in all of America. Showing that on field success doesn’t necessarily translate to being able to compete for actual championships doesn’t help create greater market growth.

I believe 4, basketball back in the beast feels right and good but basketball can be in any random made up conference that doesn’t have football gets the exact same impact gained as ruining football with this ****.

Ask me how much I care about Alabama, FSU, Oklahoma and LSU and, and, and.  It was great to see our Bulls have a great season, get at least a regular season title and entertain us.  Really don't give a flying f about what the others think of us.

First, don't need 40K, just 35K. Second, the jump in MBB attendance wasn't about caring about "these teams", it was caring about USF and winning. We'll have to wait and see if there's a similar reaction if we start winning in football ...... but the reaction in MBB was encouraging, and surprising, to me.
