I was wondering when this thread would pop up.
Personally, I don't pay any attention to track, swimming, and all that though it does play in. What I recall is that just a couple years back we were one of, if not the best college sports program in America. Our baseball team was frequenting Omaha, football team was winning championships (granted they are the one that remains at the top), men's bb was a contender to make a run in the tourney, women were a final four lock; also softball, gymnastics, volleyball were all good.
This is not the dominant program from a couple years ago and just because our golf and track teams are good doesn't mean it excuses the drop off in the major sports.
I really don't know who to put the blame on or if we even can. Personally I've never liked Alleva and always thought he was a terrible hire, but he hasn't touched much other than basketball.
