Bubba Cunningham Quotations

That's true of all the teams we have. We are investing more in football, and we want to have a better result in football.

We need to put all of that over a timeline and get in front of donors to continue to talk about wanting to be a highly competitive Division I-A program, and tell them this is what it takes to be successful and continue to grow.

We are working as quickly as we can to move ahead on their recommendations.

We're trying to change the image of the university with our football structure, and a lot of people believe in that. But we aren't talking to a lot of basketball fans and baseball fans and people who would support other sports as well. I want to get to an enhanced facility improvement plan to help all of our teams.

We will need to submit another report to the NCAA and keep them informed on what we're doing so they can advise us.

Every institution is responsible for creating an environment that's compliant, and if you have holes in that - which this is - then you're susceptible to evaluation by others. We submitted what we've found to the conference office, we've submitted to the NCAA, so we've opened up everything for everyone to take a look at.

Ball State makes it an absolute priority to comply with all NCAA rules, and our student-athletes understand we take this very seriously. Our primary focus right now is ensuring that students going into competition are eligible to play.
