Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4065984, member: 1023"] Villanova and Gonzaga are exceptions. The others are essentially one shot wonders who have their moments then return to earth. Raise your hand everyone who expects Loyola Chicago to make another trip to the Final Four this decade. VCU sort of followed the model. Loyola too. Have a successful coach for a few years then he’s off to a bigger program. The dirty little secret is the teams in the NEWBIE are subject to the same thing. Villanova is the exception now only because they have an older guy who has been there long term From original Big East days. It’s what happens when you get $5 million in media rights and the big boys get estimated $10-15. Then you look at facilities and most NEWBIES are fighting Star Wars with World War II facilities. The list goes on. [/QUOTE]
