A few good points Beatty, but scheduling to me is the biggest upside for joining the Big East. We all know the yearly complaint about our schedule, specifically the non con.

Lets start with the non conference schedule. Who is more likely to get a home and home with a power 5 school, which our fans want versus so many buy games. A Big East team or an A-10 team? I have to think Big East be advantage for us in this regards.

Lets move on to conference play.

Which DC team will typically excite our fan base more and be a stronger opponent, Georgetown or George Mason and GW

Philly- Villanova or LaSalle?

NY- St. Johns or Seton Hall, or stick with Fordham and their 300 fans in a HS gym?

Would you rather us have a road trip to Olean NY the middle of February, or Chicago or Milwaukee where we have large fan bases who can see our team on the road?

How about our "local" rivalries? Duquesne and St. Louis or X and Butler?

Middle of the pack in Big East has resulted in NCAA births. The Titanic A-10 is sinking. If not for a perfect late season series of upsets late season and in the A-10 tourney last year, we would have been a 2 bid maybe even 1 bid league. This year, time will tell, but it does not look good for more than one bid. big East is currently #3 RPI and pretty much locked into being top 3 all year, while A-10 is #14 currently, and could end up anywhere between #10 and # 16 when all is said and done.

If the opportunity ever comes, and I feel it will, UD better jump ship instantly, you know to generate more money for the program to pay for your $72 milliion hallway

If the Flyers say no, and someone else from the top of the A-10 says yes, our schedule gets even weaker.

Oh yea, and it has to help recruiting too, but that is topic for another day!
