Will love to see the final numbers...
Guarantee enrollment will go up or we will reach a cap situation where we won't be able to allow in anymore students allowing for selection of top students vs. conditionally admitted students. This will probably not show up this coming year but 2012-2013.
Also, you just can't deny the school spirit situation. I am having alumni come out of the wood work talking to me about ISU. I have had no less than 20 alumnus come by my office since Monday morning talking to me about the championship. Will it lead them to give money to ISU, probably not. Will it lead them to potentially tell a student to go to ISU, absolutely.

Thanks for the comment rapala! I hope you don't mind that I emphasized part of your post. I really feel that part of it deserves more emphasis--most of us here realize it to be true. But sadly, I'm not sure all appreciate the fact.

He's been busy in the Pub section lately..lol
what butler proved last year...and what isu looks to be proving this year...
is what I have been saying for years.....athletic success DOES translate into increased admissions and more alumni interaction/imput.
I said it after the 1978-79 season and I said it after the 2000-2001 season....and there are some people who continue to dispute it.....like Gary Daily....
the publicity that the school has and is receiving thanks to the success of the basketball program this season, especially in the state of indiana, amounts to a lot of free publicity for the school.
if you tried to pay for this kind of positive publicity, it would cost the school a lot more than what the athletic department costs......so the school is getting a bargain in the process......

I have gone on-line to try to buy a blue, long-sleeved T-shirt in large or x-large. All gone that don't say a specific sport on it. Lots of NCAA stuff already, but the university should get some T-shirts now!

Not exactly what you are wanting but they may have more...
I would also suggest contacting Pacesetters directly or calling Universitees in the Terre Haute Mall (if its still open) they always had dozens of long sleeve shirts pretty cheap too.

SIDE NOTE:
Everything that I am seeing recently produced (especially at the bookstore) has this logo. I hate this logo! I have one hat with it on it and I was given that hat. I just think the logo is "confusing" and doesn't represent ISU well. No one calls it I-S, we call it ISU or Indiana State. Oh well, just frustrating for no particular reason. I just can't seem to "like" the logos that the University uses...this logo is used for the university whereas the state with sycamores across it is athletics.
I do like this hat..if it had a different logo on it I would think about it...

Part of the benefit for buttler last seaon was a Final Four run, rather than a early loss... Granted them making repeated trips to the Sweet 16 or at least 2nd round appearances also helps.
So, we NEED (at least) a 2nd round appearance THIS year; follow it up NEXT season with a Regular Season AND Conf Tourney title AND (at least) a Sweet 16 berth; make it an ANNUAL visit (or at least bi-annual), not once a decade.
Will these work?
