Message: [QUOTE="Omaha-Jays, post: 3809586, member: 9966"] I say this fully aware that Creighton is a small school with a small alumni base in a small market with basically no national following. The last thing the conference needs is more of us so sorry Dayton but no and SLU is looking ok now and I like STL, but they haven't put together much success as a program. If Gonzaga was located in Denver maybe it could work, but Spokane is a long long ways away. Further from Spokane to Omaha than Omaha to NYC. The only schools that I would see as a 100% no brainer add are two that are really farfetched. 1. If ACC pushed ND to become a full football member or leave and ND wanted to stay indy. I have no clue why the ACC would do that, but the BE would be the natural home for their sports other than football. Their national brand is worth dealing with the domers. 2. The other is Kansas. If Texas and Oklahoma jump to the SEC, B1G or Pac and leave the rest of the plains universities as nomads Kansas could potentially consider to deemphasize their football program similar to UConn and make sure their elite basketball program gets a stable home instead of getting sucked into whatever Frankenstein conference would rise from those ashes. Like I said both of those would need a seismic shift in the conference landscape to happen. Right now the conference should be very happy at 11 with a 20 game round robin. We have a good thing going, no reason to go chasing something that isn't there. [/QUOTE]
