I realize I've been posting this all morning, and I'm surprised there isn't more of it. I am also certain that it was discussed in much more depth two weeks ago when this first came out.
You don't try to become a "basketball school" when your football program/athletic department is worth $910,000,000.00
This isn't Duke with high tuition, small student body, and alumni base not interested in football. This is the FIFTH LARGEST "franchise" in all of college sports.
You don't wait for Nick Saban to leave Alabama, who is 4th largest. Even the mighty Saban at Alabama can be beaten. You don't roll over and emphasize basketball if your the FIFTH LARGEST entity worth nearly a BILLION dollars.
You don't lose to Troy or any Sun Belt school, in your own stadium, supposedly one of the most intimidating venues in all of American sports, either.

This is a very logical and fair response, RedPop.
However - I'm not suggesting we've completely given up on football. We're just taking a break.
Explain to me otherwise why we would hire Coach Orgeron as a fith largest entity, to your point???
