It guaranteed the other sport would become a consistent national title contender and guaranteed we would win one or two?
I know stupid question right. The reason I ask this is in watching the tournament there are teams like Gonzaga who have risen to the top of college basketball, especially the last couple years, and teams like Xavier that have no football and are constant fixtures in the tournament and one of the top programs in the country.
Maybe not even drop football, but drop it down a level like Villanova. Be a national title winner and have the #11 football team in the FCS.
Conversely if dropping basketball would help propel football into a P5 conference and to the level of national title contention year in and year out.
Me personally I couldn't have attended a school that didn't have football. I enjoy it too much and going to football games is an awesome college experience. Plus from April until November there would be nothing really going on. I would be in favor of dropping football to the FCS if football resembled 1992-96 and basketball was cutting down nets.
Could you sacrifice one for the other?
