And let's say in 10 years we still would only have those seats full for Iowa and Nebraska every year. It still isn't worth it. Basically, to me it is taking a huge gamble on a lot of money for something that
might be worth it. Meanwhile there are other programs (namely
MBB and
WBB) who suffer because of the lack of a practice facility and other things. That is my point.
