To the moderators: - i wish you would post this - I come in peace
As a lifelong UD follower, I can honestly tell you that the vast majority of UD fans and the admin are really not interested in joining the BE
On the surface it seems surprising, however UD has finally built the team and has the top tier coach that if he leaves, will pave the way
for another quality coach to follow. UD gets plenty of national exposure through the FIRST FOUR and exposure and virtually every game is broadcast on ESPN, NBC and CBS
If they joined the the BE they would also have to cater to the whims of FOX. The UD administration is not a big fan of that network, or any other network pulling strings ( the sports and news divisions.)
I do respect the BE and XU, and it is an interesting league, thats why i frequent this board, however honestly UD admin and fans like where they are
right now. 3 years ago, they would have had a different opinion.

I think they are in a position to be a dominant force in their league and get into the NCAA tournament almost every year. And when they get there, they seem to be proving that they belong and more.... Xudash, you have really taken the 30 point win to heart. If you get whomped by Nova by 30, does that mean the talent wasn't close? I've been to some whoopings of the Muskies by UD in the final years of those match-ups and the rematches in the same years were usually very competitive games. So don't extrapolate a single game whooping as your evidence.
Back to my original point about UD's strategic position right now. I'm quite pleased. I think they have something going. They are beginning to establish a good rep under Archie. I think they have the "program" essentials to carry it into the future. I don't think they need a different conference to lean on for that.
Good luck to the Big East teams that make it into the Dance this year. Hope to see you there.

I applaud your support for the Bonnies. I don't think they will ever be added but it's nice to see a passionate fan. I do have a question, does St Bonnies really deliver both Buffalo and Rochester markets. I thought it was was about an hour and a half from Buffalo, even farther from Rochester. With Catholic schools Canisius and Niagara closer to both cities and SUNY Buffalo to compete with it seems odd to believe that St Bonnie can deliver both of these markets.
