It's a bit harsh, but a lot of what he says is true. Everyone assumes Xavier and Butler would crawl across broken glass to join a hoops-only Big East. Maybe they would, but it's not a given. The A-10 is a nice, stable conference with it's tourney at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. That's not too bad.

There's no guarantee Marquette, Georgetown, etc. will keep the Big East name. And there's no guarantee the tourney will remain at MSG. (supposedly, an extension was agree to, but you have to believe there's an out-clause. As the Big East sinks, you just know the ACC is licking their chops to grab MSG. And right now, they are the much more attractive option).

We are supposed to believe that an A-10 school wouldn't want more money, more TV exposure and stop playing the likes of Fordham because they never had an opportunity to chase the benjamins.

uh huh

Where exactly is all this mega TV money you're referencing? And what's with all this TV exposure you're talking about? At this point, the Big East is begging any network to broadcast its games...and not finding any takers. And as schools continue to flee, the sales job becomes more and more difficult.

All I'm saying is, let's not get too cocky. The A-10 could very well be MU's next home.

Interesting throw-in. To HS kids coming up, being able to play in Jay Z's Barclays Center is going to be a lot more impressive than playing in dingy, old MSG.


Sorry but you don't have a clue about NYC. Brooklyn? Used to hear the same talk back in the 70's when they built that gym out in the Meadowlands. How'd that work out.  Dingy old MSG is still #1 and its not even close.

I get what this guy is trying to say.  It's easy for someone in his position to sit behind a keyboard and act like a tough guy while trolling another fanbase on a messageboard.  And as well worded as his diatribe is, his entire premise is so flawed it's laughable.

We're the "redheaded stepchildren" and are "second class citizens" in our own conference.  This same guy wrote another article on his UD Pride website about how the Big East titanic has hit an iceberg and how all of the 7 non-football schools are completely and totally screwed.

That is exactly where his premise is flawed:

What is probably going to happen is the 7 non-football BE schools and some portion of the A-10 merge into an amalgamation of the two leagues.  So we're so completely and utterly screwed that we're going to wind up...in a situation that would put Dayton in a better place than where they are in right now.

You might be right. Hopefully, a merger would happen under the Big East banner. MU, Georgetown, Villanova, DePaul, Seton Hall, St Johns, Providence, Xavier, Butler, Dayton, SLU, and Richmond or VCU may be our future.

I'll need a little time to get used to that.

Dayton is amazingly similar to Marquette, with a few advantages:  on campus arena, larger endowment, and a football team (well, sort of).

And a few disadvantages:  it's in Dayton, their admissions standards are weaker, and their basketball program, while decent, does not have the history, tradition, or fanfare of Marquette's.

  But they do host the play in games every year.  Oh, and Obama did attend a game there.  Don't think he's been to a Marquette game.  Yet.
