One of the nice things about the new AD is that he has specific experience in big-time men's basketball. That is not to put down any of the other sports, many of which have been successful and have their own devoted fans. Yet I think we can all agree that men's basketball is the flagship sport for VU.

As a student athlete, Dr. Small was part of a Pitt team that went to the NCAA tournament four years in a row.

(I'm also hoping for home and home games with Pitt, Iowa State, Arkansas and TCU!)
