Today, U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) is leading a letter with Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) to Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman to encourage the conference to add Saint Louis University (SLU) and the University of Dayton (UD) to the Big East.

Currently, every BE team receives 1/11th of the BE's revenues.
Adding Dayton and SLU means a 1/13th share.
Will a 1/13th share of league revenues to each school be more or less money than the current 1/11th share for each school?
If larger, then approve. If less, then deny.
(Going from 1/10th to 1/11th with Uconn meant more money. So, that was approved.)
Even if it's more money - NO!

Oh, someone is writing a letter you say? Surely that'll get filed directly in Val's trash. Right where it belongs.
Enough with this garbage
Glad our us senators are focusing on the real issues.

Socialist government intervention

Damn! You beat me to it.
How did Minnesota's 2 senators miss the chance to tell Val we should take in St. Thomas?
Lol. Hard pass. There are probably a hundred different reasons why those two schools won't be added.
Dayton hasn't even won their conference tournament in over 22 seasons. Maybe the senators should write a letter to the A10 commissioner asking for a free championship instead.
Not Dayton. They own MU, so there would be 2 more losses each year for MU.
