Ceiling as an athletic department?

Just curious with the success TB seems to be sustaining in hoops. Where does everyone see the ceiling of UVa athletics?

I think many feel that FB can only aspire to be a usually solid but only occasionally very good program. However, with the turnarounds that Oak has managed with baseball (truly historically bad program until his arrival), and now Bennett with basketball, has anyone changed their minds? Can we be perennially good in all three and able to compete for titles in all three (ACC or nattys)?

I honestly think it might be possible if Mendenhall is anything like the other two coaches. System, consistency, might take a while but we'll get there kind of mentality. Not dominating all three by any stretch of the imagination, but top 10-15 in all three in most years. And unlike Florida, Texas, or tOSU, we wouldn't be doing it with $$ and population alone ... it would sure be nice if Mendenhall was our Harbaugh without the NFL departure!
