Why invest in college sports? College presidents, board members, athletic directors, admissions offices, and fundraising teams know that successful athletics enrolls students, fills beds, and builds new buildings. Florida Gulf Coast’s admissions applications increased over 27% after their Sweet 16 run. Visits on the FGCU admissions page jumped from 2,280 to 42,793. Butler’s applications nearly tripled after two Final Fours while the university was able to build, expand, and upgrade $255M in campus facilities including a business school and a new arts center. George Mason’s admissions office inquiries went up 350% after their Final Four run in 2006 including a 54% increase in out-of-state applications. In the 1980’s, John Chaney’s men’s basketball program changed the landscape of Temple University as a whole helping increase freshmen enrollment by 18.1% and transfer enrollment by 6.1%. Nick Saban’s football program helped propel the University of Alabama. Between 2007 and 2022, enrollment at Alabama increased by 51%, from 25,580 to 38,645 students. In that same time, the college more than tripled its endowment, surpassing a record $1 billion in 2022. It also has nearly doubled its physical footprint, adding an engineering quad and state-of-the-art dorms and recreational facilities.

They got Saint Francis’d. But the Huskies largest run in that game was only 22-0!! espn.co.uk/womens-college…

Ohio State. West Virginia. Pitt. None of them are gonna be happy going against Cinci now.

@XUCoachPitino Seeing your son happy is even better.

Nothing better than seeing your dad happy

Last Cinderella still dancing. All eyes on us…

Great article. Utah State is a cool special place

@Coach_Campbell I was thinking of exactly those teams! lol. UNLV had pro talent. Arkansas in the mid 90s had pro talent. Even the Loyola Marymount team had pro talent, it wasnt just the “system” that won. When UVA loses to UMBC, I don’t remember anyone saying you can’t win with that system.

@CoachHaigh Exceptions: UNLV and Amoeba - but that team was loaded talent wise Syracuse and 2-3 - but only won once UVa and pack line - but they gave up 3 which led to loss vs UMBC.

It's extremely difficult to coach the style of play that Coach Kim has used her whole career. I've been there, lived it. Just not at the big time level where there are even more pressures trying to chip away at your system/style. She's strong, she'll fight back.

I love this man. He’s so happy to be here - smiled his entire presser - soaking it all in. Arthur Moreira is the perfect coach for the Vandals. Idaho +34.5 couldn’t be more free 🎥: NCAA

This didn't go in.

@JJ46007983 x.com/i/status/20355… To your point -MBB teams going big and dominating the paint at the top of the game.

@JJ46007983 👍 yes. Didn't work enough this year. Mainly because players didn't want to play that style. If there's not total buy in, then the system doesn't work.

@brianmccormick That's one argument, but shouldn't be a major reason. You're really trying to gain a competitive advantage based on personnel matchups. It's harder to win in tournaments playing a pressing system because timeouts are much longer and the opposition gets longer rest breaks.

@CoachHaigh I always thought coaches used “the system” because they argued it’s more fun.

@CoachWestern Agreed. Gotta press on misses also. To gain that specific little potential advantage

@CoachHaigh What she was trying to do would’ve worked better if she pressed on missed shots too. The fact that she only did it on makes didn’t wear opponents down. So the quick subbing didn’t actually create an advantage the way the defense is intended.

Utah State’s 86-76 win over Villanova was Jerrod Calhoun’s first in the NCAA Tournament. He reflects on the risk leaving West Virginia to become the head coach at DII Fairmont State and how it set him up for success. “Everybody’s story is different… I always dreamed of this.”
