I take that to mean that a public school is off the table for the Big East because they have everything else the Big East would want basketball wise.

Thanks for the info. I think its the Big East being elitist/stupid, but it helps alleviate what I consider the perfect storm of badness for UD if they were to jump.
I'd much rather go to the arena to watch UD play UC, UCONN, Wichita, Memphis, SMU, Houston, Tulsa,
Temple, VCU (assuming they are our partner) than the vast majority of the A10. In the A10 VCU, RI and
SLU are great games, although SLU has been brutal to watch recently. Other teams have good years, but besides wondering how
SBU and Davidson get such good guards and hating the stupid St. Joes Hawk its mostly blah.
