DePaul only potentially hurts the BE if they are a Q4 game 2x (or, God forbid, 3x) a year for the rest of the league.

Of course, there are always two solutions to that: don't be a BE bubble team, and #DLTD

The BE will never kick out DP. But, I honestly wonder if DP ever resigns from the BE. I'm talking long term failure of 30 or 40 years with no real fans left and the economics catching up to them.

Saw a DePaul alum on Reddit saying they could hire calipari because he's friends with the AD and he's made enough money that it wouldn't be the main motivator.

If that ever happened we will have truly hit the darkest timeline

Not as long as they're cashing revenue sharing checks.

I assume you mean Calipari and not caliphate.

I understand, but does the FOX money carry the full cost of being a BE member? I assume they have to get some level of ticket sales and local media to round out the budget.

Fair question. I am unaware of any requirements of the BE that they have violated. However, I would argue that they have failed to make a bona fide effort to develop their bball program for quite some time. But that's just my opinion.

It's just some of us scoopers venting our displeasure with a BE member that doesn't seem to give a rat's ass that they are perennial cellar dwellers. DP is here to stay.

No, I understand completely.

I don't have any idea how the BE Bylaws read, but I would be shocked if expulsion could be based on anything short of "just cause." ( which I doubt would include sucking perpetually). Second, I doubt that the BE would want to be a trendsetter and start kicking people out, even if they could. Not a good loo.

I think we're stuck with the Blue Demons.

Haha that's a fantastic auto correct and yes.

Not sure, TAMU, Brew, or Sultan can probably get me that answer.

Better off targeting a Chicago legend like Ditka.
