Lol I know but just the thought of the season being cancelled had me thinking I’d still rather have a horrible team than have to continue this COVID-19 lifestyle. I get that you were joking but I do think some people out there probably are serious about that.
Playing out the hypothetical --
I would rather we have sports next year because the football team is likely to be very good even if the basketball team is going to be an eysore.
Football is more important than basketball. I know clinging to Hilton and us being a "basketball school" while our football program was a goat rodeo for decades is just the standard Iowa State thing to do, but things are different now.
I would gladly watch the basketball program go down in flames, Prohm get fired, and have to start over in exchange for an 12-2 football season. Very gladly.
Even just a shot at that -- which we have an outside one -- is worth torching basketball.
