What’s the alternative? They St. Peter’s it, throw no money at the program, and lose their shot at building a real brand for the school, and fade back into obscurity? I’d rather throw money at the winning coach than take a huge loan out to upsize the arena. Ideally you do upgrade the facilities as well as pay the coach though. I’m sure part of the deal request from May’s end is that the school puts more money into facilities and “NIL”.
I think that team returns a lot of productivity. They will advance past the first round next year.
