Found an interesting article. Maybe this would increase the amount of money that can go towards the men's bball program. Gonzaga has steadily risen above us in the US News and World Report rankings as an example that I have personally seen. A good bball program leads to more donors and a better student body.

I hope Lawton and Bove are reading. There is a connection. Lawton himself said that those at LMU deserve to be surrounded by the finest, including the finest collegiate athletics in the nation. Lets see if those words are more than just talk.
