Meanwhile, although there is some merit-slinging, Richmond and SLU fans are quieter. Maybe there is a point to the fact that these two fan bases don’t seem like they need to validate their potential inclusion every time there is a possible avenue to do so.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

Every time it comes up, we have the same people making the same arguments. We get it. We've heard every single argument for each school dozens of times. Do any of you really think you are saying anything new?
I am getting close to lobbying for a special forum just for expansion talk. Then at least it won't come up on the main board all the time.
Honestly, each post I see lobbying for a particular team makes me want that team less.

Did a VCU fan create this thread? Did a bunch of fans of other teams post on it? Can't get mad at VCU fans for discussing our team when we're brought up. You'd do the same (and I'm sure you've done the same) as a Creighton fan.
edit* In fact your posts are searchable, and you lobbied pretty hard for Creighton when they were being considered. So can't get mad at the outsiders looking in now that you're an insider.

The difference is that we all knew that the league would be adding teams at that time. Now it has been made quite clear that the BE won't be expanding anytime soon, if at all.
Plus, as stated above, you've already made the same arguments dozens and dozens of times. We've heard them....multiple times. You aren't breaking any new ground.
(PS - my post wasn't just directed at VCU fans. However, the fact that you assumed that it did speaks volumes.)
