Don't get me wrong, I do not wish for nova to fall back to the rest of us, I want the rest of us to step up and challenge.
We'll need multiple different teams in the second weekend and final fours over a stretch of years.
As someone who was around when the original BE formed, there were times when you'd see Syracuse, Georgetown, and St. Johns in the top ten in the same week and four, five or six teams in the top 25!
I think between 1980 and 1992, Syracuse had played in a national Championship game and elite 8, Georgetown had played in three finals and won one and an elite 8 or two to boot, St John's made a final four and an elite 8, Villanova won an NC and made 3 elite 8s, UConn made an elite 8, PC made a final four, Seton Hall made an elite 8 and a national championship game. BC made two elite 8s and like 4 sweet sixteens. That's all in about 12 years.
This league is not yet anywhere near that. I'd love it. I'd love DePaul and St John's and Georgetown to be nationally relevant.
I love this league now, and am hopeful we can get something approaching that...
