Who do you really want to beat?

As a Depaul fan-Anyone, I want them to beat anyone. Good God they are awful and been awful for so many years.smh

These sort of things are self evident, debating them isn't even that interesting.

The A-10 recruits, is attended, and earns like a mid major. Of course that means that over the long term they will perform like a mid major. This is what we call self evident.

Damian Lillard once played for Weber State. Projecting Weber State's future based on that anomaly would seem silly, even to the biggest Weber State fan. Your projections of the future should be based on forward-looking things, not confluence of events or even flat-out anomalies.

The Big East isn't going to be the Big Ten. The Big East does not recruit or earn like the Big Ten. There are realities for each level. There is just a grand canyon gulf between the few with the distribution system, revenue, and recruiting to the mid and low majors that do not. The Big East and the A10/MVC/WCC/insert other upper echelon mid majors are on opposite sides of that canyon.

Please provide your analysis of Xavier's recruiting class against EACH B1G program, and then come back with a redo of your generalization. For that matter, learn a little bit more about the financial performance of all these programs and do the same.
