Interesting Student POV

Usually never, and usually they are right.

I get the frustration. What I don't get is this notion that you think you have a right to say this is a wake up call and demand answers.
its a college student. take the entitlement with a grain of salt. we all like to pretend we weren't similar.

what shouldn't be taken with the grain of salt is the actual message.

Not a good week

I see a benefit in the relationship for Musk. I don’t see it as much for Trump. He doesn’t really “need” Elon at this point. He helped get him elected, that was his usefulness to Trump.
I would disagree on that. Trump has the luxury of having Musk as his outsider “pit bull” to identify all the savings opportunities. Musk provides credibility and cover.
The relationship is easy now since there is nothing to actually do, but I do think their egos will get in the way of who is making the decisions and who deserves the credit (and blame)
Trump is always going to take credit, but he seems to be comfortable with Musk at his side. He did imply that Musk helped him win the election.
Just my opinion, we’ll see how it plays out.
Yup, this will be interesting and time will tell.

Interesting Student POV

Interesting take. It’s true that the early 80’s were the some of the worst years record wise in SHU history, but on the flip side of the coin the program reached its peak in the late 80’s early 90’s with some memorable seasons. By contrast, anyone who became a fan after 2000 has seen, at most, two tournament wins.

As someone who started following during the Gonzo years, I get that I’ve seen a relatively successful period of Seton Hall basketball. But still, I am dying to see this team do the one thing that matters in college basketball, making a deep run in March. It’s been nearly 20 years and all I’ve seen is one free throw shooting contest win against NC State in 2018.

I think that is a frustration a lot of older SHU fans don’t understand.
I do agree with this. Four NCAA wins since 1993 isn't exact the standard for success most programs have. The 1989 team had five by itself.

But this season is shaping up to be our worst since 1983-84 and many of our fans -- certainly our younger fans -- have not experienced that either.

Top $ College Sports Programs

Yeah, I don't disagree. Still, bringing in over 2 million viewers is notable. And that's for a woman's college basketball game, though, granted, for two top 10 programs.

The point I was trying to make, but failed, was that we are told football is the be all and the end all in terms of value, but college basketball has a lot of eyes on it and a lot more games. I think it's value is being underrated. If the NCAA weren't funding itself and non-revenue sports and DII and DIII playoffs off of March madness, basketball would be valued much higher.
I disagree…a lot..I think now more than ever bball is shown to not move the needle

I think the Belichick move shows this in a weird way too
