Actually if Gonzaga doesn't want to, there is no way to get this done. If I am Gonzaga, I'd stay put or look into joining the B12 before even thinking about the BE. And I don't think Val really wants them either. Long term risk is way too big.
Hasn't Few been quoted saying he'd join the Big East given the chance? Or at least would be interested?
I doubt it's been offered...and that isn't likely to change. If they could go basketball-only, I bet they would, but since they'd have to go all sports, it's just too much. I think we all just need to keep our minds on our side of the Rockies (and probably Mississippi, no offence intended Creighton).
As for BilyJ's comments above...only disagreement I have is with Davidson. I wouldn't mind staking a flag right in ACC territory, even if they might not be the strongest contender. They'd fit in with us, I'd think. Although, not going to lie, a team from America's Hat would be interesting.
Ok, I lied...I'd be against Louisville as well. Little too trashy, academics I don't think are quite there...they just aren't a good fit for the conference.
