Miller to Texas

Hate the thought of the BE being a stepping stone to bigger jobs. Shaka left Texas (maybe before being fired after a bad year) for Marquette. How the Xavier and Nova jobs get filled will say a lot about the perception of the big east going forwawrd.

Sean Miller always had his sights on a bigger program. The only reason he was at X in the first place was because he got forced out of Arizona, not for performance reasons.

Top to bottom, the Big East has the best coaches. There are a lot of garbage coaches in the power conferences. But the BE is full of smaller schools that can't compete with these massive state schools for NIL. It sucks...but that's the way it's going to be unless some of the BE schools find rich boosters.

Not great at all. Last year it felt like this conference had the right mix of proven good/great pre-99 Calhoun coaches that may get somewhere in life, truly great coaches, young energetic up and comers. Now it's like:

-Miller gone
-Will Shaka and McDermot ever go deep in a tourney?
-Cooley and Holloway huge step back.
-Pitino not riding with Luis to the end....

I'm much less bullish on this league than I was this time last year.

Sucks for X, he'll win at Texas
 
Good move for Miller. Tough loss for Xavier and the Big East as a whole. Very good coach. Let's see what he can do with the NIL bump.

right, because the big east has hurt this team so much over the last three years.

Writing is on the wall.

Nova way down. Shaka is figured out at Marquette. St John’s best team ever couldn’t get out of the first weekend. Providence irrelevant. Xavier is a stepping stone.

NIL money is more important than ever, and we are not able to rev share like the big 4.

But keep your head in the sand!

three winning seasons, including two championships. The sand is pretty good.

Why post it here? We all want to be in the Big 10, SEC or Big 12 but you have to be invited. Revenue sharing is going to help those programs you just named.

Miller totally blew it this season with a talented team. How is he still considered a top coach?

You're like 8th fiddle at Texas as the men's basketball coach. While you're gonna get support it's not the type of support you need to build a championship program.

Tough to win at that football school, unless KD is coming back to finish his degree

Still don’t fully understand why, though. Bama, Florida, Auburn, A&M, et al. have figured it out. Why can’t UT?
