juniorbill76 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Let's forget all this and start our own conference. If you could put together the Big Midwest Conference (not to be confused with the Midwest Conference) what schools would you pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorydays2013 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 SLU Dayton Marquette Xavier Creighton Vanderbilt Butler Georgetown Keep it small, and competitive. All 8 of these teams can compete against each other. Conference season will be the hardest to predict, and thusly making every game matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe I racked my brain for 2 minutes trying to think of a non-Mary Saint university (without the "Saint") and I did not think of Xavier or Loyola. Anyway, add Mount St. Mary's.
