heres the thing about P5. it sounds fun and all, but theres a price to pay(no pun) to coach there. Just because its p5, doesnt make it better than SLU. The one think Ford kept saying when he got here was that it blew his mind how much talent is in the area, and how much of it was untapped prior by SLU.
SLU has something WSU, zoga, dayton, whoever doesnt have, a big city with some of the best talent. He knows this. Going to your Oregon state or rutgers is not more attractive. period.
It does suck that Dr. C Is really the only big donor. This may be the single biggest issue SLU has.
