If UD wins a National Championship - of course we would all be happy. Every one of us...except udscott. However, I see the A10 as something that is holding us back from that.
When was the last time ANY team won a National Championship from outside the PAC 12, SEC, Big 12, Big 10, ACC, AAC or Big East?
The answer is 1990. And we don't have Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon or Greg Anthony. Before that? 1966. It was so long ago that it was a big deal that Texas Western started 5 black guys (first team to ever win a championship doing that).
That is 2 teams over the last 52 years to win a championship from outside those conferences.
So while we will all be thrilled when UD wins a NC, seems to me we should want to be in one of those conferences in order improve our chances.
I'm proud of the A10. I am. Doesn't mean I don't want more for UD.
