It’s not ok, and that thinking is what has held SLU back for years. There’s no excuse for them not to be in a conference with Marquette, Xavier, Creighton, and DePaul. SLU flat out prefers to be small time because that’s what the donors want.

You joke, but they have the Family Arena for basketball and Dome for football to host P4 opponents.

Bold strategy, Cotton.

NCAA Baseball added to MLB The Show 25 https://www.operationsports.com/all-mlb-the-show-25-college-teams-so-far/

A STL metro rivalry between Maryville and Lindenwood in D1 NCAA hockey would be awesome. It already exists at the ACHA level though.

All

Uh huh. Meanwhile, VCU and Dayton, two programs SLU tries to aspire to be or so they say, have put together a schedule that features one or two P4 programs. SLU is the undisputed champion when it comes to excuse making.

No

But why ?

SLU put themselves in a deep hole by disregarding the program when college basketball was becoming more prominent nationally beginning in the mid to late 60’s. During that time, likeminded schools such as Villanova, Marquette, Creighton, Xavier, Cincinnati, etc began to take basketball seriously and left SLU in the dust for good.

24th

Fair enough. Some programs in cities with multiple teams have managed to make it work. No excuses..

Dayton and VCU (including Richmond in the Richmond area) are the only major game in their respective towns. No major four sport nor MLS there. They’re IT. Big difference.

Bama aspirations with a Vanderbilt AD and trophy case.

It’s about time. They have no excuse to be where they have been for 33 years.

Hopefully he’s the anti-Jimerson against Dayton, VCU, and Loyola.

B, but, three weeks is too long !!! Ship these losers out via the portal.

Well then no wonder they finished 5th in conference and went out early in the conf tournament.

You would think SIUE getting all the press from the locals would light a fire under this lazy ass AD and administration, but apparently not. They need to do us all a favor and drop down to D2. Maybe D3, because they’re wasting a slot for a deserving university.

LOL Classic SLU

No, the former needs to go,

I wouldn't be upset at all if Avila goes elsewhere. What a disappointment he turned out to be.

This is rich coming from a guy who carries Chris May's water.

Not confident going forward .

Typical SLU Billikens ball since 2014-15.
