What I don't understand is how this guy just completely contradicts himself :that would form quite a good basketball league" but "permanent non-power conference status," I don't see how William & Mary, Northeastern, and Fordham push the needle. Sure, decent markets, but none of those scream "great basketball prestige to move things forward."
As for the Fordham case, it just really depends on what the deep pocket alumni care about. Do they really care for a great athletics program? If not, then they're perfectly happy just being well off and spending money on dumb things. Alumni donations are weird, some people are all for them, while a lot of people are very "meh" about the situation. It is weird that even a few of them haven't been like "hmm, let's see what we can do here," being in the Bronx should be able to recruit some decent players with the right resources.

My daughter went to William and Mary. Great school. Beautiful school. But nobody is going to mistake Bill and Mary with good sports.

Nova with the ol' woodshed treatment in Omaha! All of us here should be delighted.....we desperately need parity in conference and it's very refreshing that one of the BE newbies start the process.

Providence shouldn't be too far behind - they got a nice win at UConn yesterday.
