Catholic 7 Meeting?

[kmwtrucks]

GU, has better history or at least more recent, has been as good or l slighlty better the last 10 years and is in a better Media market, and is rated higher.  I would put us below GU. in a pecking order. but we might be the next B ball only school behind them.

[Benny B]

Someone tell our (a)Hoya brethren that MU has the utmost respect for GU and we're going to take very good care of them... we'll make sure they get the most comfortable chair at the head of the Big Boy table once MU gets it all set it up for them.

Haha, I'm not trying to rag on GU (or whatever), I'm just saying, it's not like they're in a massively better position than us. We're better off working together as equals than one school trying to be the 1-eyed king in the land of the blind.

GU is merely Richard Pryor to MU's Gene Wilder.

I can't say anything bad about Tulane.  I don't know anything about where Tulane is, or what their academics look like.  I haven't ever thought of them even having sports programs. 

Who cares what they think, they're irrelevant.  Burn?

Fantastic school.  Not so great in athletics.

Yup. They have some ugly babies.

This all feels like a bunch of karma. The Big East was founded as a basketball conference. Well, after roughly 2 decades of football slowly taking over the roost, the basketball schools have their moxie back and can dictate a bit. So all the football schools that are already here should be advised that if they want to stick around, it will be on our terms. And if you joined up in hopes of the great nationwide football conference...well, let's just say that as good as this league has been to us, it hasn't always been what was promised, and now the "incoming" football schools aren't exactly getting what they were promised.

Sorry, SMU, Houston, Tulane, and ECU, I'm sure you're nice people with lofty aspirations for your programs, but if you want this nationwide football powerhouse, you might not be the exact schools to execute that plan, and this conference certainly doesn't look like the place you'll be doing that.

Perhaps Tulane and Dayton can start the new Inferiority Complex Conference together.  I-C-C!

That was quick.

If you're interested, here's what the map would look like after kicking out the BE football schools and adding Dayton, Xaiver, Butler, SLU and Creighton.

Not so bad geographically.  I still don't understand the insistence of SLU's inclusion.  They suck at basketball (last year notwithstanding) and do not add the St. Louis market.  SLU means as much to the STL market as UMass does to Boston - practically nothing.  Is it just to make a certain number of teams?  Or is it the likewise stupid insistence that this hypothetical league be dominated by Catholic-affiliated schools?
