Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 3912032, member: 3723"] 1. I agree with your bolded. UConn should 100% dominate this league going forward because not only are we the school with the most resources available to us but also we're one of the 3 biggest brands by far in the league. Xavier has already had to replace multiple coaches, Marquette, DePaul, Butler, etc are fine programs but we've seen guys jump ship for bigger opportunities from there. The rest of the schools have established fine programs but like... Creighton? Seton Hall? Providence? These are all incredibly small regional schools with virtually zero national appeal or brand. UConn will benefit in both the short and long term from the brand and pure size of the school compared to everyone else in the league. 2. Wichita I actually think is well positioned even post Marshall because of the Koch $$. If you're willing to outspend everyone in your league, you have a chance to be good year in and year out. Plus a die hard fanbase and great facilities. In a weird way it almost helps Marshall was forced out in the way he was rather than having him stay another 20 years and trying to replace him after that. Now with Isaac Brown there I think they'll be fine but Marshall was being paid in the top 10 of all coaches in CBB. They'll be fine long term if they're willing to keep that level of commitment up.
