Would BU.....

[ph]

IMO, this is a situation that could easily pay for itself. If I'm BU and I'm impressed in the interview, which I'm sure they would be, I would look at the financial aspect this way:

1. Yes, Bruce Pearl is going to cost more than your average cost, probably quite a bit more.

2. He's gotten Tenn to the NCAA's six straight times, count that revenue BU. SIX. (yes it's with Tennessee BUT...wait for #3)

3. We've got new facilities that are supposedly top 50 in the country, that combined with Bruce's rep and BU's rep could be healthy for incoming recruits.

4. If Bruce was head coach, like others have mentioned, the seats would be much more filled, and much more regularly.

That being said, I understand that us getting a high profile coach might be unlikely but I think it's something that would pay for itself in the long run (or short run).

To me it beats grabbing an "up and coming" / "diamond in the rough" . That guy isn't going to create a buzz with the fans or the recruits until he wins. I say get a winner now.

The one and only problem with Bruce is a potential NCAA violations / death sentence that forever kicks Bradley out of D1.Its like coming up with your own IRS tax avoidance scheme, its not worth it in the long run.

plenty of room here for me!

except i will never graduate so i won't have an alma mater

Unless you are going on the pro circuit or possess an ardent entrepreneurial work ethic do what it takes to GET YOUR DEGREE! Get off the board and go study! A college degree is last generations HS diploma. I'm not kidding and I'm sure you have heard it from your folks. You will regret it.

I love how things work. So, basically this generation spends roughly 20k a year for 4 years to get what used to be gotten for about nothing. In a hideously worse economy. And now this Libya thing. Awesome.

It is called competition. The Chinese, Indians and other groups that were just working to survive are now kicking some serious butt in education.

The Libya thing I get, it's the other two that I question.

Bruce may be getting a year suspension..you can't do this ..especially now.

You would be astute to realize the old adage that "all student loan debt is good debt" is now wrong. But I think there are still ways to get a degree without debt...
