In the college game it all comes down to your ability to recruit the good players. The good players go to where they think they will get the most visibility and a shot at the big time money in the pros.
The schools with the big money programs and lots of TV time have a huge advantage and if they can get the right coach who projects the right image that attracts the right players you will have a lot of success.
Look at guys like Pitino and Calipari who are great recruiters, and have had a lot of success in the NCAA. Put them in the NBA where they had to draft against everyone else and they had no success at all.
You got to have a tremendous commitment from the school in terms of dollars and marketing and getting the right people on board and then go ahead and dance with the devil, which is big time college sports.
