I would strongly argue that UD has a much greater comparative advantage, in virtually all areas of college basketball, to its current conference foes, than it would to a the member schools of the current Big East. And, no, Dayton's chances of winning an NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME, do not increase specifically by entering the Big East.
Maybe not the year they enter, but as they get to recruit as a Big East member, I don't see how it doesn't.

Better players go to better conferences with better exposure and better competition. Better conferences get preferential treatment by the NCAA committee. Better conferences don't get 7 seeds while paired up with a 10 seeds from a comparable conference who rates out to a 3 or 4 seed. Better conferences will be the benefactor more and more as less and less at large teams are chosen from lesser conferences.

Here's one for you. Every time that Xavier moved up in conference it has benefited them. Every time that UD moved into that same conference it has benefited us. It's obvious that once again Xavier benefited by moving up once again. Why would the same not be true for us this time?
