The inter department hate towards the basketball team has to be off the charts at this point. I remember other athletes used to be upset at how much priority mens basketball had back when I was there. This has to be 10x worse.
Imagine your program having made the elite 8 and you are watching a team who hasnt placed top 3 in the conference get paid millions and you aren't making a penny. Or having won what 7 conference titles back to back . Id hold a grudge forsure.
