Conference realignment discussion - v. 2015

[Piratefan]

If we add 2 schools and have our choice then I would add Uconn and Dayton. If we add one and we have our choice than I would add Uconn. If we add one and Uconn says o then i would happily welcome Dayton.If we add two and Uconn says no then we add Dayton and ?. Richmond makes some sense but it is not in a major market and has a small alumni base. I would not add VCU but would be open to WSU as its rabid fan base which will support a coaching change like Dayton.

Yep, same IP. Thanks.

Wait, has stever20 has been a Dayton fan this whole time? lol. Either way, stever, no need to make a new name. Although the devil's advocate bit gets annoying, every message board needs one.

I'm not a Dayton fan. I can see though that if someone else comes around as #11, that Dayton would be more than good enough as #12. Definitely way better than SLU.

And think it's pretty darn funny that NovaBall does what he did- when he's on at least HIS 2nd account as well.

IP address says otherwise...

How about this. A conference is created called BE2. It includes VCU, RIchmond, Bonnies, Detroit, SLU, Dayton, WSU, Davidson, Bradley, and Loyola of Chicago. They get to be in the "Big East", and you promote demote like in soccer. Top two expected teams in the deuce get promoted while bottom expected two teams in senior division get demoted. Everyone Wins! except the Bonnies who agree to lose every conference game.

If you really think NovaBall and Ball are 2 different people, I've got some beach front property in Arizona. I don't care what his IP address is. Why aren't they moderated? Everyone on here knows it's 1 and the same guy. Maybe he can get around things a bit better than me, but still. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck- it's a duck!

I'll admit I did it. I did it because I like posting real time- something that I've not been able to do on here for whatever reason.

If they would add uconn and Dayton I think Xavier fans would be the only ones upset about Dayton joining

Its apples and oranges. UCONN is a basketball powerhouse. Dayton has made it to the second weekend once in the last 30 years.

I think you are referring to Muddy Waters on the A-10 board. He finally gave up the day X went to the BE without his Flyers. A Basement check in Dayton revealed no bodies.

And let's face it, Fox (after approval from the President's) will decide who would join anyway. It's all about the money and they will have to cough it up if they want to expand.

I mean it's really this simple^^^^^^^^^^^. They overlap markets with Xavier and are less than two hours from Butler. They have essentially no name recognition on the national landscape. This would not open new markets or extend the footprint. The Big East can and should wait for a "name" school(s). Probably some of the reasons why they were skipped over two years ago.

Yea, it was Obama's fault! LOL
