You are wrong of course. The BE is doing just fine with 10 teams and there is no reason to expand, especially with the likes of UD/SLU/Richmond/VCU. Those programs do nothing to fix any problems you think exist. Sorry.

Depends on your definition of "doing fine". If exposure and eyeballs are your criteria then it is not doing fine. If number of teams getting in the tourney this past year is your criteria then it is doing fine. But if tourney success over the past two years is the criteria then it certainly isn't doing fine. I think any reasonable person would have to agree that overall the BE hasn't met expectations to this point.
