    Makes too much sense, so probably won't happen.

    I hope he doesn't. That job is a dead end.

    Yep. I would hold out for something else. Nebraska is not as good of a job for your future as is Ohio U.

    I like Butler, that would be very good for this league, it would increase revenue, and give a little bit of competition as a replacement to Temple!

    XU has to get out of the A10.

    I know they really have no better options right now but I hope like crazy that they are leading the talks on either starting a new league with the best of the A10 and bball only BE teams or lobbying to get in the bloated BE team to replace Louisville.

    Unless, of course, you dream of only working five more years and retiring. The Nebraska job is excellent for that.

    Groce might have the desire to be a broadcaster for the Big Ten Network if he wants to go coach at Nebraska. Lets face it, after those five years, he'll be fired, and then he could go broadcast. Not a terrible career path I guess.

    As for Butler coming, it'd be an excellent addition to the conference. The A10 was actually decent this year, and I don't hate the idea of sticking around, as the conference has been good for us. We're getting 5 star recruits now (Semaj), we make runs in the tournament, and we consistently go to the tournament.

    If we can find another solid program to join the A10 (and kick Fordham out), this conference might actually be half decent.

    As much grief as we give Butler (particularly in early Decemver, oh right when our game with them rolls around) I have to agree they would make a great add to the conference.

    It helps our little midwest "division" - Be even better if we could get the pod partners changed to SLU, dayton, Butler.

    A step up to a better conference (sorry, Horizon, but...) and the kickoff of this $25 million Hinkle improvement project the Butler fans keep telling up about could really be a nice shot in the arm to their program, facilities wise. We know they generally put a good team on the floor. Annual H/H's with those three would be good for our in conferene SOS and RPI.

    I say welcome them with open arms, A10 Commish!
