Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4789636, member: 7511"] Val Ackerman’s comment that there is, “No better fit for Gonzaga than the Big East Conference” is an excercise in hyperbole. While adding a program like Gonzaga would certainly elevate BE MBB and, to a lesser degree, BE WBB, the geography is a major concern for BE schools. The increase in travel costs would be substantial. Presumably, we are not just talking about basketball. I know it’s a bit old fashioned mentioning this. But there is something about “student” athletes repeatedly flying back and forth across 4 time zones during the academic year that just doesn’t seem particularly appropriate for college kids. [/QUOTE]
