Mayhem, I am a sample size of one, but I don't post or read as much on the board because the college landscape has changed so dramatically that I've lost a lot of interest--and I'm a STH with other $$$ commitments to the program.  We've discussed that ad nauseum in this space, but I simply don't have a strong desire to invest a lot of emotional energy into a sport where players come and go every year with no continuity or genuine emotional attachment to the school.  Mid-majors like ours without a sustained commitment to paying players will constantly lose players to the higher paying P6 and larger mid-major larger state schools. 

From an objective standpoint, I believe this will be the last season that closely resembles the GW basketball program that I loved as a student and alum.  Even after a 1-27 season, I could always dream. Maybe when collective bargaining gets done in 5-10 years and GW plays in the relegation league I can "dream" again. 

I'm not blaming the players nor am I bitter.  However, as most relationship counselors will tell you, indifference is worse than fighting--and I've never felt this indifferent about GWMBB before.  I just have better things to do with my time.
