Fox's role...

We all know that this is about money. And we know that Fox knows that it has to improve ratings significantly.....or greatly reduce the NBE TV contract.

Re the last point, the NBE schools will not want to take a big hit when renegotiation time rolls around. If at that time Fox indicates that an expanded conference is likely to help ratings....and if Fox notices the eyeballs UD brings to the screen and "suggests" with UD in the NBE there will be a lot more interest in games played by the mid-west contingent....in my opinion, that sort of scenario will be far more important than whether or not the current NBE schools "want" Dayton in their league.

Having said that and knowing UD wants "in", personally, I'm every bit as comfortable with UD is its current league. Most of the A10 schools are serious about BB. Last year we were a better league than the NBE....this year, not. But, if an "off year" still results in three NCAA bids it's clear that UD will do just fine in the league it's now it.

And staying near the top of the A10 and winning is likely to be easier.

Go Flyers!
