Great game! Incredible atmospheres against UNT and tonight was even better. Who knew FAU basketball would become the toughest ticket in south Florida?Posted On: Jan 26th 2023, 9:46 PM #412119
Hopefully it leads to a new or expanded arena. A little over 3000 as a sellout crowd is very low. Had to turn students away because of the small arena. Really hoping a contingency of the aac invite for us and UTSA is improving the basketball arenas.
Just worried once May leaves it will be hard to recruit anyone to those facilities. He's done an exceptional job with less resources

Was just thinking this last night, how long before a bigger school and a bigger paycheck takes him away?

Same, same. Hopefully this isn't his ticket to UF or some other P5 school. Time to give him a raise and extension. I'm cool with being a basketball school if we can sustain this.

The best thing is we don't have to worry about that now. We are a basketball school until further notice 🔥

Football is the money maker and way more important sport. I'm enjoying this year in basketball but I'd definitely take football success over this
Question is why not get both ? They need to capitalize off of this season and build a respectable arena with normal capacity. I see some social media bragging about 3k attendance being a sellout as a big deal. It's actually embarrassing that D3 colleges and some high schools can get bigger attendance.
Going to AAC now so can't operate like a cusa school going forward . I'm thinking they know this

No sense trying to list all of the examples, it is just reality and finances will always dictate.
Nick Saban left Michigan State for LSU! Power 5 to Power 5.
Enjoy the ride and hope for the best.

Schools that are not in the Power 5 are going to be targeted for coaches in any sport.

Schools that are in the P5 and NBA are subject to poaching. This is the world we live in - nothing wrong with it.
Let's just enjoy and ride the Owl wave!!!!
