IF a new Basketball only conference forms, it will include teams, that are positioned to increase their profile in college basketball.
SLU is one of those teams
1 Size of Market
2 Fan base (look at national attendance slu is good despite two down years beating ND, and other big east teams)
3 Ease of Air travel.....slu is better than Dayotn, Creighton, hands down
4 Number of sports the university competes in at the D-1 level
5 Current and future facilities
all of these facets SLU rates higly in, with the possible exception of facilities, however with the advancement of the arena project that should become a major plus.
I think most of the other school message boards do not really follow SLU ball, and thus this next season, we may raise some eyebrows. I predict postseason play again and this time NCAA.
