Time to move to a better conference before we lose Ford tford, are you really this naive? really? why would a conference take us? explain why any of the top conferences would take slu at this point? if the big east only would take us as a junior member with no help on exit and entry fees and only a percentage of conference ncaa sharing for no defined time period right after our best three years of the program, why would they take us now?

Maybe something like SLU, St. Joseph's, Gonzaga, St. Mary's, Holy Cross, Dayton, Loyola Chicago, Iona, Santa Clara, Detroit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to join a conference that is basically the current Big Ten, but then we’d swap out Rutgers for Evansville. I really don’t see anything that’s keeping us from making this happen.

Taj79 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Bills71 beat me to it but it is also in the A10 rumor thread. Only reason Gianinni lasted this long was that luck Sweet Sixteen a few years back. I think Martelli's fourth place finish saved his job this year as well.

I am not big fan of Dr G but with no $$ & the mausoleum, can LaSalle do better? What I understand, he didn't get fired he resigned. I would think he left some cash on the table with that decision. http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2018/03/23/lasalle-parts-ways-with-longtime-head-coach-dr-john-giannini/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I still think that the American (AAC) would strongly consider taking us. It provides stronger competition and regional rivalries. billikenfan05 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have to, look at Wichita St. I like the AAC option even better than the Beast unless they too require we are a junior member. Although, I'd think WSU is not entitled to any of their football money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
