The Big East lesson...

If UConn, Memphis rebound & VCU, Wichita St join with the AAC has a much better potential than the A10. I would think recruiting would pick up squaring off against UConn, UC, Memphis, Wichita, etc & too 50 wins would be more plentiful. Peak potential this could be a very good conference. ECU, Tulane are there but a much stronger too & middle

Who knows what the future holds with expansion but the Big12 wanted to expand & didn't because no program was worth it in the AAC

Improving the A10 is nice but we can't make UMass fire Kellogg or ensure they hire a good coach. Duquesne on paper hired a guy in Ferry who turned a program around & went to the tourney. Not sure what anyone in the A10 can do to fix programs like those

The A10 shackles us with Duquesne H/H in conference, waited till this year to have us play VCU H/H & had us playing Fordham H/H in 14-15 when we almost got left out of the tourney

It'd be nice to have the chance to play UC to get another top 50 win versus avoid a bad loss late in conference play

The incompatibility of big-time FB with BB-only schools is what killed the Big East. The hybrid old BE model proved to be not viable. Why would anyone want to get within a mile of that again?

A week ago I attended a large meeting re UConn FB hosted by the AD and featuring UConn's new/old FB coach, Randy Edsell. The investment in FBS FB is enormous.....can't be understood, really, starting from a Dayton-style BB centric point of view. Absolutely, positively, UD has got to stay away from any involvement with FBS FB schools. It can kill you! Their fundamental interests are entirely different from ours.
