SwiftyClown Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Big East next year for Saint Louis? Yay or nay and why. There's rumblings that VCU could be in the BE next year. Personally, I don't like it. SLU is a likely candidate to move I'm wondering how fans feel about the potential move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBilliken Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Well I care. Entry into the Big East is critical if SLU is to land recruits like Tatum. Yes, SLU seems to be getting good recruits but to step up to the next level SLU must get into the Big East. Yes, the A10 might be better this year, but the Big East has the traditional big names like Georgetown, Marquette, Villanova, etc., etc. That means more exposure in the media and bigger TV dollars. VCU is okay with me. If the Big East is to split into two Divisions another Eastern school must come in when SLU enters the league. If say a Dayton comes in when SLU does, then Xavier would likely have to go into the eastern division of the Big East. I am sure they would prefer to be in a division with rivals like SLU, Marquette, Butler, etc. So VCU would be okay. So would Richmond but I believe the Big East would take the higher profile school which is obviously VCU. The Big East plus SLU and VCU makes it truly a top level BCS league. And it makes much more sense geographically, especially if SLU is in a division with Butler, Xavier, Marquette, DePaul and Creighton and playing these teams twice a year. Can't wait.

Franchise_08 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Actually, no one is talking about VCU in the BE except for you guys. Richmond would be taken if anyone from that area. On the bright side, if the Billikens would leave, then VCU would finally have a chance to win the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBilliken Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Do a little surfing on the web and you will find that there is talk of VCU going to the Big East. But I agree, Richmond is a better fit, just not as high of a profile as VCU the past 5 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've come here in peace and gotten threatened with bodily harm (at least I did). Swifty has a good question and the thread is worth talking about. Do you guys really hate everyone?

MB73 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It will be a huge upgrade for us if we get into the Big East; several solid reasons.

But I was just looking for opinions on SAINT LOUIS going to the Big East next year. http://oneminuteremaining.wordpress.com/2013/09/06/is-the-new-big-east-expanding/ http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaab/eye-on-college-basketball/24096990/new-big-east-feels-weird-but-its-not-taking-a-hit-nationally http://m.si.com/2265657/georgetowns-power-causing-tension-among-new-old-big-east-schools/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010andBeyond Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The school gets more money....tv deal blows though. It seems like they have games on fox sports 1 almost every night. Some posters on here have a weird complex about other fans. Just because someone is a fan of another team doesn't automatically make them a troll. The childish responses to the vcu fans are making this board painful to read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouthBilliken Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I just don't want us to end up like Butler this year or become a consistent bottom feeder like DePaul. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Of course it would be nice to be in the BE next year. And of course SLU fans are focusing on the rest of this season right now. Can it really be a troll when the answer to the questions should be so painfully obvious on both counts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. So, how many of you have to watch webcasts? Just curious. I am one of the few VCU folks that does not want to go there. The others think it would be great cuz we'd get more money-for a little while. The BE is a mid major conference now. They've had to do the marketing campaign because all the real teams left for greener pastures. UCONN left for the AAC. That's a pretty large statement. They got to join ODU. F ODU???? OD who?

Pretty sure UConn wasn't invited into the NBE, not that they left for the AAC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Gonna have to side with 05 here.. it's pretty easy to search 'Big East' and come up with a thread or two on the issue. http://www.billikens.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23136&hl=east Knock yourselves out. Everyone here who isn't a MBM wants in the Big East. No need to have another debate about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Town won't make the dance this year. Sad state of things. They used to be such a powerhouse in a great conference. We'll never see a conference the likes of the old BigE again. In the olden days they could put 8 in. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
