At least you have football. How many Big 10 football programs can say they've lost two games against 1AA schools from the Dakotas in the last 3 years? Basketball at one point this year beat North Carolina, WVU, and Purdue, was ranked 13th in the country, then lost their most dynamic scorer and only competent point guard (transfer and foot injury) and promptly lost 10 out of 11 and no post season play. Hockey? 8 years removed from back to back National Championships and now the Gophers are getting swept at home by Alaska-Anchorage and missing the playoffs for the 3rd straight year (first time ever that's happened). Not to mention losing recruiting battles to other in-state schools.
Just remember that no matter how bad your athletic department is doing, it could always be worse like Minnesota.
