No one considers it one of the very top jobs anymore but it's still a Top 25 job.

• History
• Salary
• Facilities
• Recruiting footprint
• Has the cachet to schedule any OOC you want (Arizona, Villanova, Syracuse, Michigan State, Georgetown, Oregon in just the last two years)
• Can fill up neutral sites like MSG
• Fanbase
• Basketball-first school (despite its idiotic efforts the last 15 years)

Really the only thing going against it is the conference it's in.
