Many here have insisted that Gonzaga could never join the Big East because of geography. Tell that to USC and UCLA. Maybe our intelligentsia isn’t aware of advances in aviation.p

UCLA and USC will be raking in over $80 million a year from Big Ten TV rights fees. Gonzaga and the rest of the BE won’t be close to that.

Even with their basketball success GU doesn’t fully fund all of their sports.

I do know that Kansas is kicking the tires on pulling a UConn to join the BEast.

No, they aren’t.

Check out Green Mountain too. Mine has a rotisserie and can get to 550 degrees. Less expensive too…… by about $800. Probably not as durable as the Blaz’n Grill.  That looks very durable and well made.
I'm a big fan of Green Mountain too. Won 3 rib cookoffs with one.

No, they aren’t.

Yes they are.  Doesn't mean it's anything close to actionable or that it will rver happen. UConn kicked the tires for years before pulling the trigger.  Gonzaga just as long and nothing has come of it so far

Why?  Aviation predates modern basketball.

But aren't most of us surprised that jets became a thing? Who woulda thunk it?

I'm still surprised that man-built shelters became a thing. Caves were working really well.

TCU has a shockingly large athletic budget for such a small private school. (or maybe not shocking given it's in Texas and has wealthy oil money). I think Jamie Dixon is top 20 paid coach and the football coach maybe in the top 10.

TCU is roughly the same size as Marquette in overall student FTE's and have comparable SAT and GPA ranges. Its enrollment is up 30% in the last 15 years following the success of football and they've built eight new dorms since 2010 to handle on-campus housing interest for what used to be a commuter school. Getting that check  from the Big 12 every season hasn't hurt, either.

Even with their basketball success GU doesn’t fully fund all of their sports.

Georgetown has 30 intercollegiate sports teams and just over 800 student athletes. Of these 30 teams, only eight are fully funded: M/W basketball, M/W soccer, M/W lacrosse, and M/W track. If you on the football, baseball, or crew teams at Georgetown, for example, you're fighting above your weight class when it comes to funding and competition, but it's part of the experience. (The three sports just mentioned have some of the highest alumni giving rates at the university.) There's no way the Big East revenue stream could fully fund that number of programs.

Basketball is overfunded at Georgetown, but that's a discussion for another message board.

Nope, I don't frequent boardrooms. I zoom into everything nowadays.

Yep. If it played out that way, I don't see the B12 breaking up. I do see the B12 as a football also ran that will be treated as a second class citizen. I also think that the B12 and BEast would be the second and third best basketball conferences, especially if they pick up the best of the leftovers of the ACC and P12. I don't see either the B12 or BEast getting left out of a basketball tournament in that scenario.

I don't know how this will all play out (no one has predicted every step of realignment correctly). I do know that Kansas is kicking the tires on pulling a UConn to join the BEast. I don't think it happens anytime soon but it sounds like they are doing their due diligence. But the Big East should be doing everything it can to add top basketball properties over the next few years.

You really think the SEC/B1G would want to kill March madness? What conferences do you believe would get left out? That St. Peters run last year was really fun to watch. Killing the greatest National Tournament doesn't make sense to me, but realistically it is cents that drives all this.

I bet Kentucky would vote to keep St. Peter's out.
