Dayton is fine in the A10, a conference the program still can't figure out how to dominate. Anthony Grant is an elite recruiter. Recruiting will not be a problem under him no matter what conference Dayton is in.

You might try actually reading what I wrote. I never used the word “flagship” nor did I say they would dominate viewership in the league. I simply said the
Xavier-Dayton rivalry is such that THAT GAME would PROBABLY generate a large viewership. No one denies that Villanova is that league’s flagship and likely draws the top ratings. But I doubt, say, Villanova vs. Creighton would have better ratings than Dayton vs. Xavier in a typical year.
