The conference they are without us is a mid major. I'm sorry to say it, but it's unfortunately true. Unless Cooley revitalizes Georgetown and unless Nova finds a way to do it without Wright, this conference is a mid major only...
They weren't selfless but they weren't dying either.
The conference is on its way to mid major status with or without us. The WCC is one with or without Gonzaga.
It used to be top 3, even while we were in the American. They've been mid major for a few years now, honestly. Like I said, they needed us as much as we needed them...
They were. They had no ratings and saw the writing on the wall. We just pulled 3M for a single WBB…that is more than every DePaul team can muster combined in a season.
If what you are saying was true, it was foolish to pay an exit fee to the AAC.
Unclear. Being in the big east definitely helped us, but it's tough to bet against Hurley, even if he was stuck in the American.
Bingo
Well, at least we didn't give notice of our withdrawal with no place to go. So we've got that going for us (and a winning football season.)
Although, like six times in the last decade, they've just been the best.
I thought that very recently FSU said that they never had any intention of leaving.
Yes, they did. Of course the complaint they filed, which expressly gives their notice of intent to leave, says something entirely different.
Big difference between the big east and the wcc….multiple final fours from programs in this conference, what’s the wcc have San Francisco from the 50s? A lot more modern success in the big east than a conference like the wcc
And they will say that if you don’t like it then leave.
Which we will eventually, at which point their stature diminishes greatly. You’d think they’d at least try to entice us to want to stay.
I think everyone knows we are not going to stay in the BE forever, unless FB only conferences become a thing.
