Do not disagree.
St Louis and Pittsburgh are attractive media markets to the BE, though living here I can tell you
Duquesne is a weak step child to Pitt in the media. Not sure exactly how X feels about us but would not be surprised if they see us as a real threat to them being so geographically close with academic credentials they don’t have and facilities and financial assets that are at least equal if not better.
I just have to think we will find our sweet spot due to our standing as a great basketball culture with an awesome fan base.
