Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

I understand checking to see the lastest conference rumors but I'm confused, why all the a-10 threads on what is supposed to be a big east board.
just asking.....

The only 4 significantly rumored programs for #11 and #12 come from the A-10. That's a hot topic for all of us, obviously, and it draws their fans here, too.

Well, 2 teams joining the Big East are current members of the A10. Two more that are widely considered logical additions to the Big East remain members of the A10 (for now). I like being educated here on the programs that are joining us so it's fine by me.

I think the folks here in Dayton are looking ahead.
There is talk that X will block Dayton.
Marquette is not on board.
yaddy yadda yadda...ETC ect ect ect.
Is just doesn't have a good feel.


And at this point if you have nothing else, at least have your dignity.

If I were king , and if Dayton is still getting consideration at this time or anytime in the hear future,I would tell the big east thanks but no thanks.

If the big east were serious about students atheltes, as dayton is (100 percent graduation rates) (at the top nationally ) they wouldn't have kids hoping across the country to play softball.


Creighton is, was, a mistake.
You can't pretend to care about students and then for the sake of a few dollars--ask them to travel 1000 miles for a soccer match.

Good luck but I would prefere that the U of Dayton do business with like minded U''s.
I want to be in a conference that believes in us and the things we are doing.

Sour grapes, enough?

Like minded universities? The Big East is that to Dayton.

Or is UMass, URI, VCU, GMU (all state schools or 30k+) more institutionally-similar to Dayton?

Academically?

What are you willing to send them 1,000 miles for?

Boo hoo, the Big East schools were already traveling that far to Miami so Creighton was no different.

Pretty funny. Dayton finds out about the New Big East.
