thanks for posting. I still think SLU & Gonzaga are the two that should be added. The incremental $100M more than covers any non-revenue sports travel costs.Add the best teams available!

It's also a private Catholic school like seven of the other [Big East] member institutions.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Oh and I should add, let's see what happens to UConn, Temple and Memphis in the next 5-6 years. If the football landscape substantially changes, they would be great additions.There simply is no reason to rush.
You could add 2 now (SLU and Dayton) and add 2 more later if UConn, Temple or Memphis if the opportunity presents itself. There isn't a reason to rush, but there isn't a good reason to wait either.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
If Nova (Philly) is already in the Beast, why would we want Temple (Philly)? Who is next LaSalle.......Drexel......Penn?
Gonzaga and a western travel partner. I originally thought st. Mary's but they went the wrong way fast. Sultans suggestion of Denver is interesting. I would want to see massive improvements in basketball before we go down that road. They have a large endowment and are pretty dominant in other sports. Not to mention a large market. I think BYU makes the most sense right now. Great bball program, independent football, strong academics, and a fanatical worldwide fan base.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
Yeah that was mentioned however I do think that it isn't as simple as the BE can add whomever it wants. I am sure that Fox does get some say in this. Right now I don't think adding anyone makes a great deal of sense. It's not as though any schools are going to get snapped up by another conference. I do think if Dayton continues to perform they would make sense. SLU is another market so that's good.One school not mentioned is Denver. If they can improve their basketball program, and since they are LAX members already, they might be a decent addition. (But only if they SUBSTANTIALLY get better on the basketball court.)
Because they are a good basketball program. We have two teams in the NYC metro area. Other major conferences have schools that share television markets.
BYU is a football independent though. That being said, I don't quite understand the notion of a "travel partner." It's not as though these teams travel together. It just means you have one road trip shorter than the rest.
Exactly... if you play on the road in Spokane on Tuesday night, the NCAA doesn't allow you to fly to San Fran afterwards for your Saturday afternoon game.
Good may be a little bit of a stretch regarding Temple. If UConn would move football somewhere else.....they would be the choice.
