Preseason Rankings: Big East vs. Atlantic 10

To be fair we still haven't gotten an invite so we can't for sure say they wouldn't raid us

Cherry-picking rankings on a Marquette board to show Dayton as the better institution? Causes animosity.

He also full on hijacked holyland of hoops for a good two years. Dayton as a whole I don't really have any animosity toward, I think their online fandom thinks they're wayyyy better than they are but that's just more comical than anything.

This is kind of what I was wondering... is it towards this specific poster (and UDPride) or against all of Dayton fanbase or visitor fans to scoop in general.

The bolded is not accurate. Since 2014, the Big East has won four national championships - more than any other conference.  The last time a current Atlantic 10 school won a national championship was 1963.

There are many other datapoints if you would like me to go on.

I was referring to culturally and metaphorically/figurative way and how they're positioned in the college basketball world as a pure basketball centric conference.

Who cares? They're a one or two bid mid-major.

Agreed. I'd say with Gonzaga off the board (for now), there isn't a school in the A10 or anywhere that would not be considered a step back for the BE if added. Not to say that the BE would not do it if required. But Dayton or SLU or VCU would be a net loss, maybe small, but a loss none the less.

Actually, ND would be a gain for the BE if the ACC implodes.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Please don't.

It's their online and offline fan base. Believe me
