Revenue = maximum importance
70 year tradition that every cbb program in the country admires/envies = not that important!
Villanova head coach Kevin Willard went on âThe Sidelineâ with Andy Katz.
He gave his thoughts on the Big 5, saying itâs important, but he thinks it could be better. Losing two possible home games could hurt financially.
âWhen you spend $6 million on a roster, revenue is really important.â

An electric coach who grew up an sju fan? Played for them? Legacy and history dating back generations.
Thereâs one man for the job on Hawk Hill.
âDonât ever defer to these people [college athletics administrators], they work for you.â
@CurryHicksSage details the relationship between programs and fans - encouraging disgruntled parties to voice their displeasures, but you better know your stuff first.
