You just need some psssionate alumni with money. It helps when you have at least some positive basketball history, passionate fans, and did I mention money.

Creighton. How did they rise to this level? No FB team. Not academically elite.

You answered it. No FB team. That’s so much cash from fan support that can be put towards basketball.

Feels like Jimmer helped raise our profile but we haven’t been able to

#124 overall #153 law school. Doesn't sound elite to me. Don't doubt they have

There is nothing else in town. Decent sized city. No other big colleges

This is 100% part of it - U of N has been bad in FB & BB so Creighton has filled
