[T-Bone 84]

Originally Posted by Viperstick Dambrot will have the Dukes contending, if not this year, next. I've said it before, we need to be a little concerned Duquesne could get an invite to the BE ahead of us. With Dambrot at the helm, they could turn the much needed corner to make that a reality.

I think Duquesne will need to sustain this improvement for awhile before the BE would come calling. But they do have a double-edged advantage over us in terms of geography, specifically (a) the greater Pittsburgh area has 3 times the population base that greater Dayton has (that many more eyes glued to sports on the tube), and (b) there may be people in the BE hierarchy who would love to stick it to Pitt, to “pay them back” for when Pitt bolted to join the ACC. Again, though, I don’t think 1 or 2 good seasons will do it. 4 or 5, maybe. But not 1 or 2.
