Very rarely (and with very weak arguments) do I ever see anyone address the obvious question - why would we even expand at this point?

Conference Championships since 2000 Season/Tournament:
Butler- 9/5
Creighton- 4/7
Xavier- 7/3
Dayton- 0/0
Pretty telling, wouldn't you agree? FGCU is proof anybody can catch lightening in a bottle and make a surprise run in the Tournament. Big East doesn't need to expand but if it does, I hope it's with Schools who have a relevant history of winning Championships.

You're right. Dayton and FGCU exactly the same. When I think of University of Dayton basketball, the first thing that comes to mind is FGCU.

Doesn't this rule out TD Jesus and the Golden domers? Also rules out BC, St Louis, and VCU. Rules out most of your prime candidates except the Zags and Duke.
