Just thought it might be interesting to take a contrarian view on the future of BC revenue sports. Here's how it could unfold:
1) A solid DC hire is made that keeps our D highly ranked for years to come
2) Along with the new DC come a few new assistants that elevate our recruiting success
3) Bates really has a plan and it starts with a boffo facilities announcement that puts us in the top half of ACC
4) BC's 2016 offense settles into solid performance with a vastly improved OLine and solid qb play.
5) BC's 2017 season brings significant bowl success and higher rated recruits
6) The hard work of Christian/Spinelli and co. cracks the New England recruiting market widely in our favor
7) Fr Leahy retires successfully and is replaced by a team determined that BC will compete at highest level
8) The success of BC revenue sports programs brings positive national coverage and BC becomes a "destination" job in the early 2020s.
There, I said it. And yes, it could happen.
