The biggest inherent disadvantage is the size of the alumni base.  Sure, Marquette has a lot of positive things going for us, but the numbers game doesn't bode well.  Madison has, what, 30k undergrads?  We're a third of that.

And yet we are consistently top 20 in the NCAA in attendance.  And we don't have a football team to support.

I'm starting to worry we may be one of Point Warrior's 10-13 Super Teams.  I hope he won't turn against us.

If its UNC, the Duke/UNC games will be interesting to watch, especially if Garcia, despite his talents, scoring and rebounds, still has that small fraction of a second hesitancy before releasing his shot. Theo would love that.

And confirmed on his Instagram. Good for him. It’s obviously a premier program.

Wonder how he will fit in with Manek, their transfer from Oklahoma who is a 5th year senior averaging double figures every year.

I wonder why we choose to play in such a large venue?  And I wonder why 336 teams choose to play in smaller venues?

that mid season scramble to get UNC on the schedule was very nice of Marquette to schedule an unofficial visit for Dawson

Sucks, but that's life.

With Garcia and DJ playing and improving under Shaka, we could have made a good run at an NCAA bid. Now ... we'll see.

Still excited to see what the program becomes in 2-3 years.

We could potentially see Theo send Dawson's weak sh!t into the tenth row of Cameron.

Next man up. He's no different than Krunti Hester. Just a tiny blip in the history of MU Bball.

Perhaps Woj should have been better with players who have transferred to UNC, Duke, Syracuse, Oregon State and one who turned pro.

What's the size of Duke's alumni base? Villanova's? Gonzaga's?
Yes, I get that MU lacks the advantage of churning out 10,000 graduates every year, but as the schools above have shown, you can create a national profile despite that.

Is this really necessary?  You’d be slurping Garcia till you burped if he announced he was staying at MU.  Instead, you just sound butthurt.

So you're anti Theo? 
You don't like celebrating Theo winning on the biggest stage? 
Why so butthurt about a Marquette GRADUATE?

I'd love to have him here still and completely understand why he'd want to go to UNC for exposure.

I'm just noting Theo is known for big blocks and Dawson is known for getting weak shots blocked and now they will play each other multiple times next year.

Yes, I get that MU lacks the advantage of churning out 10,000 graduates every year, but as the schools above have shown, you can create a national profile despite that.

National profile and fan base size are not apples to apples with NIL and fan base size.

Bigger fan / alumni bases mean more donors with large business and big pockets. If you have 110,000 active alumni the chance that there is 1 that is extremely successful and also willing to “fund” players through NIL activities is less than if you have 342,000 active alumni and more than if you have 10,000 active alumni.

Alumni base and fan base size could potentially matter more now in the new NIL world. It remains to be seen.

This is not a knock against the NIL rules or a statement in favor. It’s just a reality.

PS. Good luck to Garcia. There was a change in coaches and he thinks he can do better elsewhere. UNC is tough to turn down. That said, my focus is on MU. So, good luck and good bye.

I think the point was in the new era of NIL, the larger schools have a distinct advantage; even more than in the past. Heck, a Miami booster is paying $500,000+ per year to the football players and freely admits there is no profit expectation to his business, just legal incentives to play at the U. Good for the players but not so good for an already unbalanced playing field.
