How much are the scholarships, the travel, the promotions, the security, etc? Maybe the question needs to be asked, "Why do we have a men's basketball program?" When no efforts are made to succeed, and for years it's an embarrassment, than not only does it make the University look bad, but it is a waste of valuable funds. Maybe the lady Penguins BB, which does show some improvement, could compete with Wisc-Green Bay with the additional funding. Either play to compete, or even win, or fold the program.

Find me ONE program that plays BCS or FCS football and doesn't have a men's basketball team. Hell find me one school that plays football at any level that doesn't have a men's basketball team.
You fold men's basketball, you are out the of the Horizon League and there is not a single league that will touch you. Your teams will be independent and they will effectively die. Fold Men's basketball, you are folding YSU athletics.
Something needs to be done - folding the program isn't it.

Something they should all know Indy ...thanks for bringing sanity back to the thread. Funny because I was very excited by the play against RMU.
1. We had a our best inside "offensive" presence to date.
2. we scored 18 off of rebounds. (RMU only had 4)
3. First half almost 50% shooting in both 2's and 3's.
The bad:
1. We only shot 28% in the second half.
2. only 22% FT's in the first half
3. ONLY 2 POINTS OFF THE BENCH (whole game)
We had a very good game plan this game. Slocum's second-best game of the season. Insulting RMU is not the way to be. They are a better basketball program than we are ...always have been. What I think we have beaten them 2 times out of a couple dozen tries. That is why this game is so disappointing. We are so close, but cannot cross-over. I do not want to start over with a new staff. Here is some video folks:
