#19 in the country.

Can the conference please stop messing around and get them and VCU into the Big East?

How would 4 ranked teams (instead of 3), and 7 teams in the projected NCAA field (instead of 5) be anything other than a positive?

Nah. Keep this conference at 10 - unless UCONN drops football.

Don't fix what isn't broken.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

Unless there's a way to bring back UConn, Cincinnati or another big-time program, don't bother with expansion. The Big East doesn't need to be in the business of promoting mid-majors. If they're going to expand, it should do so by bringing in strong, established high major programs.

Hey, great idea!  Every year, let's send out invites to anyone who made the Top 25 at least once.
Have some patience, FFS.

Except if Dayton was in our conference, they wouldn't be ranked.  They would be competing with us for 8th in the conference.

As long as we can relegate them back to the A-10 when their coach leaves....

This is a great post :) I was thinking, I'd take them if we can force Archie to stay in Dayton for the next 20 years

Dayton gives us nothing. No one gives a crap about Dayton outside of Dayton. Gonzaga, BYU, Notre Dame, Memphis, UConn, etc. Those are the level teams we should be bringing in. Short of that, stay at 10.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

I get it... after the torture the past few years have been as a MUBB fan, you want to torture the team by forcing them to travel to Dayton OH once a year. You sick bastard, no one deserves that.

So many reasons not to take Dayton, and we haven't even touched the fact that they'd take a cut of our TV money.

Sometimes it shouldn't be just about the money.   Dayton and SLU "fit" and should be in.

But they do nothing to help the conference so they don't "fit."

Unless adding teams increases the TV revenue Fox Sports provides to the Big East there should be no expansion, full stop, end of discussion, no argument. The Big East is about maximizing revenue for the member teams, adding teams will only dilute that.

I think Marquette and Georgetown should just join the conference.  Then it could be formidable.
