I am curious about the temperature of Shockernet as it relates to football and the future of the basketball program. For simplicity I have kept the questions straight forward, ignoring the many scenarios and options.

You do know, our last year of football we had the top D1 team in the state. (KU was KU, and KSU was mired in the muck) -
Eric, I grew up attending Shocker football and my father was/is friends with a former receivers coach. I would be a season ticket holder.Originally posted by Eric View Post“Losers Average Losers.” ― Paul Tudor JonesComment

If WSU brought back football and kept Marshall, WSU football would become KU, Jr. football.
Football coaches don't like to be number 2. KU will never be able to hire a decent coach because of the emphasis KU places on basketball. A worthwhile football coach seeing Marshall on the athletic department staff would run away from a job at WSU.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

What I'm hearing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that WSU should bring back football, but for it to work Gregg Marshall should be the coach?Comment

Not sure how bringing back football would assure 3G does not go anywhere unless your assumption is that bringing back football gets us into a top tier basketball conference which it may or may not. And even if it does there are no assurances when it comes to retaining successful coaches. I don't anticipate 3G would agree to a contract that locks him in under any circumstances.Comment

I think a better question is how much incremental financial support Shockernetters are willing to expend annually for football over and above what they are currently spending on Shocker Athletics. I could be wrong but my guess is that would indicate the Shockernetters would not be a terribly influential group. I know I would fit into that category.
That doesn't mean the big boys won't step up and make football happen. It just means our opinions are worth the digital space they occupy. So far a grass roots approach hasn't generated anywhere close to enough interest or financial commitment to justify bringing football back. Maybe Charles will step up since he doesn't seem to find any political candidates worth supporting.Comment

My guess is that Bardo has been given an ultimatum; time specific.Comment

I assume you mean by 3G, correct? Not sure I buy that, but I suppose anything is possible. Not sure that Dr. Bardo needs that push from 3G either.Originally posted by pinstripers View PostComment

I guess I don't fully understand the question, but I am unwilling to reduce our support for basketball to field a football team."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

While I don't think the two are necessarily mutually exclusive, I don't believe the economic side of things supports bringing back football."In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W. Edwards DemingComment

If WSU brings back football, they need to hire Garin Higgins and let him do what he do. He can build a program from nothing.People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac Asimov
