the key here, and i'm sure someone can build a graph- but the key is to continue to excel at football and exploit the athletes as long as possible, while accruing as much capital as possible until the DOF (death of football). at DOF the colleges who played it smart will have a large nest egg which they can use as leverage to pour into their basketball programs; whether it be to build facilities, line the pockets of television executives who make decisions to feature their school's games, or to buy student athlete commitments. after DOF, only the pre-DOF blue blood college football schools will be able to continue their superior athletics programs, the other schools- schools like KU, won't have the coffers to continue in the athletics arms race and will be forced to discontinue their sports programs- relegating them all to club status. they'll become pure academic institutions while bluebloods like k-state and duke will continue to move forward and advance the "ball down the field" so to speak.
it's all coming in very short order and we're #blessed to have the animal and currie leading our institution into the post-DOF era.
