There is no magic in a 10 team league. Dbl round robin is not an ideal. A 10 team league is leaving NCAA money - a minimum of $2-3 Million annually (another $100-300K per school), on the table for the other leagues to snatch up. Both Butler and X were invited into this league based on their NCAA resumes. How little creighton got in is still a mystery, lol.
and DudeAnon... as you are well aware as an Xavier fan, NCAA Bids ARE the end all-be all, as bids are worth 1.5 mill (minimum) or so over their 6 year payoff life. The more bids the bigger the annual payoff to the conference and to our individual teams. In a 10 team league one can expect 4-6 bids per year with 4 or 5 being the norm, 6 being the max. outlier. In a 12 team league as pointed out by JP 5-8 bids are the range, with 6 or 7 being the norm, and 8 being the outlier. Simple math = more dinar per school.

As a Basketball 1st league, it is not wise to leave NCAA monies on the table.
Also when ND or Gonzaga, along with BC or Holy Cross join the league, they will add to the middle and bottom - not necessarily the top of the league. More is better both from a basketball perspective and a fiscal perspective. The tv contract can be amended with the addition of content.
Just because I argue in favor of something doesn't mean it is because its the status quo. You don't think all the bigger conferences wish they could trim the fat? Ask Dayton how they like playing Fordham and Duquesne every year. Its a lose-lose.
N.D. and Gonzaga ain't coming. So its stupid to even lists those. BC (RPI 200) and Holy Cross (RPI 150)...I can't even believe you propose those 2, it shows just how out of whack you are. There is only one school worth expanding for: UCONN. And for what its worth, I think we should drop Creighton for them if possible. Great fan support, but they are a geographical outlier and their program seems to be trending downwards (last place last year right?)

A Nova fan pissing on Creighton's NCAA success? Last year notwithstanding, we played in the previous 3 tourneys and won one game in each. So 6 total NCAA units to our conference.
6 units in 4 years
or
2 units during our Big East membership
Is that really any different than Nova? And how many teams have contributed more to the Big East since realignment occurred?
