Interesting that Marotta and Pat Richter are the prime interviews. Not much excitement from me about this article and MU's prospects.

I also find it interesting that they don't talk to anyone directly connected to the program. Then again, I like it because Richter and Marotta don't have to give a politically correct answers.
The one interesting comment I see is Richter seems to suggest Marquette get out now rather than wait to see how things develop.
Richter is a tool. He believes the big tenish is THE elite conference, spoke of "dismantling the big east" two years ago, after Nebraska announcement. Poor choice for an interview, but, like Marotta, always available.
Everyone here should expect the JS to be the last source for information regarding conference realignment.
