Hard to take Richmond seriously when they're at most 3rd in their market, sellout mostly 2 times a year, little on court success (NCAAs and regular season), offer buy one get one free tickets to fill their arena.
SLU brings in the Saint Louis market (but doesn't deliver it), great facilities and decent success. Dayton brings in on the court success (recently), traveling fanbase.
If the Big East brings in a school with 4 NCAA appearances in the last 25 years, 3rd in their market (behind VCU, UVA and maybe even Tech), who can't sell out consistently, doesn't travel at all and gets no national exposure - then the Big East is worse off than I thought.

That's why I hope the BE never adds in SLU/UD/Richmond/VCU. They offer very little the BE doesn't already have.
