Anyone Else Worried???
I have a hard time believing that the Big East is done expanding. Anyone else think they'll try to poach from the AAC? Wichita State seems pretty appealing and would be a great addition to their conference.
We need to make leaving harder. Up the exit fees. Do something. Aresco needs to be ahead of the next move. Don't sit there and bang your chest about a decent deal with ESPN. Keep moving forward. I feel like we're the only conference who doesn't think ahead. We just react. It's embarrassing... |

The Big East wouldn't take Tulsa, Tulane or East Carolina. |

We aren't a big, mighty conference who can throw money at schools to lure them here. Time to think outside of the box. Or else this conference will die if/when we or another big program decides to jump ship. We have leverage in this conference. Bohn or someone needs to push the needle or else we'll just remain a conference for misfit toys. |

We have to be looking at both avenues because big tech will likely have more money to throw around. UC could end up with a decent single team package deal if big tech wins out over the Power conference deals. In either scenario UC has to be a money maker of course. If we can continue to keep pace in football and basketball we have a very good shot in either scenario but I think the single team deal might be our best option. |

I agree with you, would take vcu or Dayton for basketball. I wish we played Dayton every year anyway. I would also consider saint louis. |
