To me, it's all about marketing possibilites. A squirrel GUARANTEES us ESPN commercials, extra play in video games which result in national visibility, add in the extra revenue that official plush toys, autographed souvenir acorns can raise, BU is missing out on a goldmine.
What guaranteee is there?
The Akron Zips aren't exactly all over ESPN all day.
I have inside sources at ESPN who have confirmed as much. Bradley is actually relevant again, moreso than a middle of the road MAC school.
The UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs are DIII. No comparison.
Money brings prestige. A squirrel can be done in a manner that is both respectful and not embarrassing. People just need to open their minds.

I do have an open mind, but I would rather be relevant on our own terms than be "commercialized" by the mass media such as espn.
Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™

Yeah, but our relevance has everything to do with our basketball product, which will get us slotted on ESPN, squirrel or no. I can't see how a squirrel gets us addtional exposure if our basketball isn't there... which is how it is for the Zips.
