Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2087298, member: 1026"] Not certain, but you probably could link St John's suckitude to original BE expansion. They were always fighting an uphill battle due to campus etc.., but once they weren't one of just nine major north east BBall TV-market destinations their disadvantage was magnified. Add internal AD/coaching miscalcs and it is a recipe for the disaster they've got. Georgetown headed down same route, but they've got campus/city advantages that make it easier to resurrect. But the whole thing is splitting hairs. We all know there are no more Northeast basketball rivalries and college basketball is slowly morping into college football where the rest of the country is into college sports/teams and everything north of DC doesn't matter. DC & Boston are lucky that their NBA teams are good, NYC & Philly not so much. [/QUOTE]
