[QUOTE="Illiniguy74, post: 1664008, member: 656008"] I have never understood the accuracy or value in proclaiming ourselves a basketball school. We have 5 national football championships, 0 in basketball. We are a decent basketball program but, unlike football, have never been elite (as measured by championships). I support Illinois basketball as I do all of our teams and want them all to excel. That said, football is king and frames the success of a college sports program. It diminishes our overall athletic brand to call ourselves a basketball school. [/QUOTE]
