Whether fans like it or not, I think that Greg is going to get the job.

The only way Gard's hire has any important effect on us is if he is inclined to a different, more equitable scheduling arrangement. But inasmuch as that is probably controlled by the AD, not him, and inasmuch as UW, like all P5 schools, has to maximize home game ticket revenue, I doubt it will happen, unfortunately.
It will otherwise have no material effect on our program in any way that I can see. Greg's a good guy and a friend of our staff, so that's good, but that's also true now.

They play non-con road games every year. They can afford to play us home-and-home without affecting their bottom line - just take one less road game every other year in favor of a low-major buy game. Let's not act like the profit margin is the reason. Of course they want to maximize revenue, but they'll spend a little more time working out a schedule if they constantly have to answer shots that say they duck the tough intrastate mid-majors. We're not putting the pressure on them publicly, so they have no reason to change it. And I don't see how having friendly staffs is good or bad for the program.

I'm all for it but you are spitting into a wind blowing across the whole college hoops landscape. Good luck with that. And bluntly, there will be utterly no pressure on Wisconsin to give us more home games when they already play us every year while the D1 team in our own hometown refuses to play us at all.

Ryan ranks as one of the best coaches of all-time- winning over 700 games in your career will put you into that high status. Had they beaten Duke in the championship, I think Bo would have retired last season.
