To be fair, I probably did question can it be done, as we had 40 years of track record showing it had not through 4 different coaches. And that at the time, really only two or three non P5 schools had sustained anything long-term. Many had experienced quick bursts of two to four years, which UD had not done since the 50s and 60s.

Also to be fair, for it to be other than those quick bursts, Archie has to do it through multiple classes and UD has to do it through multiple coaches before I'd put ourselves up with Xavier and now Butler. Gonzaga has really only been through one coaching change.

Not saying it can't. There are others that have, and UD has their resources.

Also, my post wasn't directed in any way toward UD hoops or the program. To get in the Big East, the Big East has to want to expand. I don't expect them to do so. I think they like their 10 team, 18 game round robin format. I also don't think that a lot of additional money, if any, will flow to the existing members from expansion. That's why I said UD will be in the A10 for a long time. Not because of UD hoops, but because no invite is likely to go to anyone.

Right now, other than it's geography and proximity to the Cincinnati TV market, UD is in a pretty good spot. Which means they have done just about everything they can do.
