Something very, very good: MSG CONTRACT

I'm intrigued by Val mentioning adding one team.
Would keep the round robin and maybe there's some pressure from Fox on better inventory, and looking at other conferences/networks having 20 games.

The tournament at MSG is such a great experience. This is great news for Xavier and the conference.

Slu would be a good fall back option. Travis Ford is starting to build something there.

As a SLU grad I would love them if BE ever expanded. They have great facilities, a lot of money, and would be a bridge for Creighton.

Crews really screwed that program up after Majerus passed but Ford has hit on some big recruits. They have some really good young players. SLU should win the A10 this year.

As recently as this past November, UConn scheduled a football series with Purdue that will be played in 2025. To me, that is not something a school does when it is planning on cutting or even reclassifying its football program. I don't know how long people have been speculating that UConn is going to cut football, but throughout that entire time UConn has never done it, nor have they done or said anything that indicates that they have any plans to do so. I guess we could discuss whether or not they should, but it seems to me that there isn't a whole lot to discuss on whether or not they will. They seem pretty committed to keeping it and remaining in a conference that plays football and allows them full membership.

But, that's just me. I've been wrong before, and I know that just by posting this it increases the chances that they will announce tomorrow that they are cutting football and leaving the AAC.

Well, some posts age better than others....

I can live with this.
