Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4704292, member: 11664"] It's only a rumor & doesn't need to be substantiated. I didn't stir the pot & the 2nd article that I posted is only one of others about VCU being a target for Big East expansion. There's always going to be strategizing behind the scenes that won't be made public. Here is what the BE Commisioner said about VCU back in Nov., 2021. 11/2021 [B]"Loyola, Saint Louis, Dayton, and VCU were the four most likely candidates that came up when [URL='https://www.anonymouseagle.com/2021/10/15/22727130/marquette-golden-eagles-big-east-conference-expansion-ackerman-gonzaga-kansas']Big East commissioner Val Ackerman told The Athletic that she would be asking her schools’ presidents to at least think about the possibility of expansion[/URL]."[/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.anonymouseagle.com/2021/11/17/22788002/loyola-chicago-ramblers-atlantic-10-conference-big-east-expansion[/URL] Was she also stirring the pot? Obviously rumors about Big East expansion can fluctuate depending on whether UConn joins the Big 12 or not. Do you really think that the Big East Presidents aren't reading the news? The Big East will need to make up for the decline of it's TV viewership market if UConn leaves the league. [/QUOTE]
