Yes! Leave Big East soon!wasn't this the same group of schools that kicked uconn louisville rutgers USF, and the like, all out to be their own thing? and now they wanna grow? that's rich.
Uconn let's get the hell out of the big east and pay what we gotta pay/do what we gotta do, to be where we ought to be. Big East is not it.
I can't really blame the old Big East for what happened earlier given how much they were subjected to the football schools' whims (and the sustained losses of Miami, VT, BC, Pitt, Syracuse, West Virginia). They felt they had to prioritize the basketball strengths that they had.wasn't this the same group of schools that kicked uconn louisville rutgers USF, and the like, all out to be their own thing? and now they wanna grow? that's rich.

They were the group of schools that bolted the conference and formed their own basketball conference. I can see why Ackerman thinks it's a good idea to grow and most likely with more basketball schools. UConn will be on the first bus out of dodge should an invitation be forthcoming.wasn't this the same group of schools that kicked uconn louisville rutgers USF, and the like, all out to be their own thing? and now they wanna grow? that's rich.

Yes while we are at it, I want to leave my job for a $100,000 raiseYes! Leave Big East soon!
We can only hope that AD Dave is on the phone as we speak.Yes! Leave Big East soon!
then you'll be able to afford even better seats when we're in a superior conference situation.Yes while we are at it, I want to leave my job for a $100,000 raise
Ackerman has said in the past, but in reality there are no other basketball schools worth the cost of expanding to. I'd rather see Georgetown play Temple or UMass than an A-10 or Summit League team.I can see why Ackerman thinks it's a good idea to grow and most likely with more basketball schools.

I think if UConn were to leave she may feel 10 programs just isn't big enough of a conference to be relevant. There are some very solid basketball programs in the A-10 which fit the bill. It may not be great for revenue per team in the short run but it may benefit for long term stability. And who knows what will happen with the ACC.Ackerman has said in the past, but in reality there are no other basketball schools worth the cost of expanding to.

Hey, if they want to be the all-Catholic/Private conference made up of the likes of DePaul, they'll get what they get and they don't get upset. I don't think a conference of 10 members getting 2 or 3 bids a year will garner much in terms of revenue anyway. Without UConn and a down year by Villanova, the conference sucks anyway. Adding basketball programs which perform better than DePaul and Georgetown is not dilutive. VCU, George Mason, UMass should be adds, large publics. I just hope UConn gets a call so I can stop thinking about the Big East long term.I think if UConn were to leave she may feel 10 programs just isn't big enough of a conference to be relevant.

They don’t want another football school. We are an exception for obvious reasons.UMASS should have been added a while ago. The untapped potential is there for them to be successful in basketball given the halo effect of being in the Big East. A good commissioner would have already made this happen. They are the only A10 (currently) add that would be remotely interesting.

OK, well that is a factor in favor of UMass then.They don’t want another football school.
