You have no way of knowing how we would compete in the Big East unless we were in the Big East.

If you have no way of knowing how we would compete in the Big East, how do you know we would have better players. There is no guarantee of that either. The Great Midwest Conference did not improve our talent level from the MCC. I dont think the Big East move has done all that much to move the talent needle with the likes of
Xavier, Butler, Creighton, Nova, etc. Jay Wright made a Final-4 long before the NBE formed. The other teams were recruiting at high levels before the BE move as well.
Aint no Blueitts, Holloways, McDermotts, Korvers, Haywards, Howards, Reynolds, or Stokes that ever came to Dayton in the last 10-15yrs.
