P5 H/H with brand name opponent. Hope we get Kansas at home for Big 12- Big East battle. Would like to see Yale at home and other good Ivy team at home.

The NBA stylistically is awful. I haven’t really watched in about 15 years and I’m not alone. Viewership is down almost 50% since when Jordan retired.

Your two explanations were issues for the Big 12 last year as well.

This upcoming season is the last season.

They were announced on April 6 of last year. Something smells fishy.

Extremely weird move for McCaffery. He doesn’t want to play for his father.

Hopefully this forces the NCAA to implement this nationwide by July 1.

The state flagships will be fine (and that includes WVU). If people have heard of your school nationally, you will probably be okay.

Several things are going to happen shortly that will actually help UConn (and the Big East). 1. Big East TV negotiations are going well 2. NCAA tournament will likely expand to 72 or 76 teams We will be fine.

What I understand is that there are only 10-12 good programs in WBB. You basically get a bye to the Sweet 16 and then need to win two games. A decade ago there were only about 6-8 programs so you got a bye to the Elite 8 and needed to win one game. This isn’t to say that what Geno has done isn’t...

We’re not Duke.

I think Dan gets 2-3 in the next decade. Geno is 0-8 getting titles the least eight years and they didn't have injury woes every season. He doesn’t have the recruiting edge he used to have.

Hurley is in his early 50s. Geno is about 70. He’s almost done and other programs have caught up.

Syracuse will be fine. Most top 100 schools will be fine. I would not want to be a private school in the bottom third of Division 1 or in any of the other divisions unless you are prestigious.

They got lucky the #2 seed in their region lost. They were favored in every matchup until the Final 4.

See CCSU and Charter Oak….

They would have lost to SC even if healthy.

Getting to the Final Four is not winning a title.

Geno’s old and they haven’t won a title in 8+ seasons. I’m not sold they are winning another one anytime soon.

See poll…

Sally’s went downhill when they sold. The original in New Haven is not as good as before and the one in Fairfield is inedible.

With the demise of the Pac-12, here are my projections for the relative rankings of the top dozen basketball leagues for 24/25: 1. Big 12 2. SEC 3. Big Ten 4. Big East 5. ACC 6. MW 7. WCC 8. AAC 9. A-10 10. MVC 11. Ivy 12. WAC

No but FCS costs money and if you create a third subdivision that will cost even more to organize an additional championship.

Most of these Kentucky guys are going to follow Calipari.

Division 1 is about performance AND prestige.

I don’t think so. More championships mean higher costs for the NCAA.

Swap UC Riverside for Cal State Bakersfield*

https://theathletic.com/5346558/2024/03/...ament-sec/ From the article with Sankey quote: “It’s simply an observation that we leave some highly competitive teams out that can justify their participation. That’s part of the review. That should be part of the conversation. Because again, we keep...

Which program is going to push us and make deep runs in the tournament? I feel fairly confident it won't be Providence, Seton Hall, or DePaul. Unlikely to be Butler. Nova after Neptune inevitably gets canned next year? Does Cooley make Georgetown relevant again? Can Creighton and Marquette...

They are good 90% of the time, but the rest of the show is garbage now.

It was very funny during the 2016 election. It's tailed off considerably since then.

Although Florida State and Clemson are ruffling feathers, it will be a few years before they get out of the ACC. Without further ado, here is the next dominoes: I suspect the Power 4 conferences will stay put for at least the next 18-24 months so the suspense begins with the Big East. For...

Sure. But keep in mind: Creighton is in Nebraska. Four other BE schools are in the Midwest. The Big 12 has schools in Ohio and Florida. The Big Ten has schools on the west coast. This is the way this thing is going. You have to be proactive in conference realignment. If you are not, you get left...

If the league is forced to expand by virtue of the shifting landscape of the sport and TV, Gonzaga has to be the #1 choice. The travel issue is a bigger deal for them than the other 11 BE teams.

Much more likely we end up in the ACC than any ACC schools come over here.
