Hasn't certainly helped MU's Athletics financial situation that when all this upheaval, NIL, etc., in college athletics hit, our TWO major revenue sports teams had been mired in an up and down, average to mediocre DECADE of overall success. First in football under Doc followed by essentially more of the same, to date, under Coach Huff. Ditto for the basketball decade under Danny which saw that Danny's coaching flaws, in recruiting and elsewhere, prevented him and the program from sustaining for a significant period of time the level of success achieved during the NCAA tourney year and the season after. This led, of course, to fan support and attendance waxing and waning resulting in the "infamous" tarping in the CAM to try and create and maintain the appearance of significant fan support and to boost the appearance of a "thrilling and exciting" almost "packed house" atmosphere at HERD GAMES!!!
