There are very few "basketball people." There are however people who don't worship baseball because it's baseball and that's who you're referring to. I've seen you reference this several times now and it's not correct

I'm talking about the people that bitch about the baseball program getting money and the basketball program not getting enough and therefore the solution is to cut off funding to MSU baseball and say fans are stupid for going to and supporting baseball.
That's an athletic department issue. Not a MSU baseball issue.
That's also a numbers game - it's a lot easier to spread money over 15 players then over 35 or 85. And yes, basketball was always in the "helpin" business and had deep pocket funders.
I think some of the push back about baseball funding is purely about facilities. People look at The Dude and say "why can't the Hump be that good?".
Hell no. They were all Seniors. The Hump ROCKED back then? They won the damn SEC.
Dan Mullen and Football built the New Dude.Football pays for everything.
