I like the WCC, but maybe it's not as stable as we thought.

Interesting. I wonder why Gonzaga would want that though. In most seasons they're going to be the #1 team in the WCC and at worst #3. The WCC is a 2-3 team tournament league. They consistently play a nice OCC schedule giving them plenty of RPI and SOS bumps. Would the money in a Big East/A-10 conference be worth the travel? Especially now with Cuse, Pitt and WVU gone.Originally posted by San Juan Sun View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Why does this logic not apply to B12 basketball?Originally posted by Surfah View PostAt least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

But there were plenty griping about WCC basketball last year, just on its own. I doubt we make the tourney last year in the B12 (or the MWC, for that matter).At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I don't see why that matters, but I am not sure I agree anyway. I think BYU would have beaten out CSU for the 4th seed in the MWC because I believe BYU would have beat them head to head. And they could have slid in the Big 12 also based on some wins at the MC boosting their RPI.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Sure, it's debatable, and like you say, doesn't matter that much.Originally posted by Surfah View Post
My defense of the WCC for basketball (and really, we're basketball-only too as far as this discussion goes--B12 for all sports is a no-brainer if we have the option) centers around the same thing you said about Gonzaga basketball--we're easily in the top 3 of a 2-3 bid league every year. That's not a bad position, and one that we may miss (a little--playing Kansas every year would more than make up for it) if we ever get to not being the big fish in a small pond.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

This makes a little more sense than Gonzaga just joining the 7 BE basketball schools. It's still a hell of a lot of travel for the Bulldogs (and Gaels).Brey also said the discussion among the Catholic schools was to make it a national Catholic conference with Xavier, Saint Louis, Dayton, Creighton, Gonzaga and possibly Saint Mary's as well."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

The 7 Catholic schools agree to leave. NCAA will allow them to keep an auto berth in a new league. Poof goes the best college basketball conference."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment
