Just to clarify, do you think people would be OK with having a D2, D3, or NAIA basketball team just so that we could have kept football? Because I think that would suck.

Back in the day schools could keep  their football at D3 and had their basketball at D1.  (Which is how Dayton won two Stagg Bowls in the 1980s).  That is, until the NCAA disallowed that, which is how the FCS non-scholarship conferences were formed.

But I don't think that was an option back when MU dropped football.

No not that all. I'm personally happy we don't have football, I think it might be the most overrated "action" sport around. But if we were to keep it by downsizing so that there was a framework in place to join the patriot league with Butler and Georgetown then NAIA seems like it would have been the only option.

But I don't know if its allowed to have one program in the NAIA and the rest in NCAA.

You're not. 

Really the only option for a varsity team is FCS, non-scholarship.

and now schools like Dayton have no chance to win a national title, and a minuscule chance to even make the playoffs.

Dropped because of campus safety, no doubt.

Start building the campus wall.

Harvard #2
UW - Madison #42?

I don't think we can trust these rankings. Everyone know that Harvard is just the UW-Madison of the east coast.

Seriously, Gonzaga must be getting a huge bump from the basketball success. We visited (3 years ago) it with my daughter and we were all less than impressed. No doubt, they are making improvements, but Marquette is a more impressive campus by far. (The cities are totally different in feel, so I don't take that into account). The dorms, buildings and facilities reminded me of MU circa 1990.

Is that up or down compared to past years?
Marquette is an urban campus, if you want to be isolated from the world, go somewhere else.

MU would be Top 50 if not for the class of 83.

Yes, and oddly Ave Commons posted about it then, and it was thoroughly discussed.

Edit: merged for clarity.
Edit 2: Hah, you posted on page 1 of this thread too, DFW
