Message: [QUOTE="Greedo, post: 4691959, member: 9992"] To be honest, I don’t think we’ll ever get into the Big 10. There are just too many schools that offer more. The ACC is loaded and the Big 10 is just waiting out their GOR. The Big 10 cares about one thing: football. Our basketball program means nothing to them. Our other sports mean nothing to them. They care about football. IMO they will never add a school with our football history no matter how Mora manages to turn things around. They got their NY market in Rutgers, they have no need for us. But if there is any infinitesimally small chance they would, they absolutely would not accept a G5 school. That is below them. We are G5 in football whether we like it or not. The Big 10 and SEC are in another realm of existence. If we stay in the Big East we are hoping the college sports landscape remains in such a way that the Big East is somehow able to remain a power conference in basketball. I think it’s unlikely, but I could be wrong. I think a lot hinges on Villanova remaining strong. But if we stay in the Big East, we are not able to build a full “power” schedule as an independent and the Big 10 will never show an interest in us. We are not Notre Dame. You can disagree if you want, but you’ve shown to have a complete lack of understanding of how this whole process works. [/QUOTE]
