there’s been. Independence was a reasonable course of action at the time we did it, but it has become clear to me that there is no future in it. That doesn’t mean it’s the cause of our downward trend.
That said, I think a decent argument could be made that were we to have played in at least one NY6 game as a G5 since 2011 (say, from the AAC as members with Boise) there would be more juice around the program than there is now. Obviously it’s impossible to know.
