You answered your own question. The facilities are below average in the conference but not as far below as they were previously.Have these facilities helped football or basketball recruiting at all? I'm seriously asking.
I realize we needed them no matter what, but it doesn't seem to have helped at all. We are one of the worst teams in Big Ten in basketball for the 3rd or 4th straight year and are facing a 4-5 conference football record in one of the worst West divisions ever.
We're also facing a 5-4 conference record which would be 3 out of 4 seasons of being above 500 in conference, which hasn't happened since the 60sare facing a 4-5 conference football record in one of the worst West divisions ever.
