We don't know Dan Hurley's aspirations.....if they are to contend for the National Championship on a year-in year-out basis then he has to go to a Power5 school.....we know Bobby Hurley will be at one and likely to contend for the National Championship so long as he shows he can recruit and win........

Their strident views certainly hurt their brand... I don't agree with them...but they have the right to do so and risk losing market share because I believe it is still family run.... I may be wrong....if it goes to stockholder driven they will have to moderate and eliminate their current views.

GM makes three levels of cars....Chevrolet is the base brand....Buick the middle brand.....Cadillac the top of the line.
