People keep saying this. Every program that was part of the Big East is much better off than they would have been had they not joined. Marquette and DePaul (well, aside from being DePaul) turned out just fine. So did Louisville and Cincinnati. Cincinnati may not be exactly where they want to be, but where they are is a hell of a lot better than where they would have been had they opted to remain in Conference USA.
So if the Big East was such a disaster, then who was it ultimately a disaster for?? Who joined that should not have joined?? What schools would have been better off by turning it down??
Wichita to the AAC is a complete no brainer. It's obviously a good move for them. Them staying in the Missouri Valley is akin to Butler opting to stay in the Horizon League. Even if the league does end up losing some of it's members, what's the worst that could happen?? They end up in a league with one or two solid NIT teams on the top, and a bunch of sub 150 teams in the middle/bottom??
