Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 16030, member: 527"] Who are we losing on our schedule that isn't replaced? UCONN, Nova, and G'Town who we "might" play twice a year if we are lucky. Add Maryland, GT, NC State...etc (depending on the divisions breakdown) sure as hell upgrades over Depaul, St.Johns, Providence, and Rutgers. And even if we only play UNC or Duke once a year, that is replacing the "one" game we get vs G'Town or NOVA or whoever. Hell even VT has been on the doorstep of the NCAA tournament in recent years. When was the last time Depaul or Rutgers sniffed an NCAA Tourney game?!? Syracuse Basketball does NOT have an RPI problem playing in the ACC. Hate to break it to ya. The schools left behind in the Big East have a HUGE RPI problem with Pitt and SU off their schedule and ND probably joining another conference for b'ball. Schools left behind have no leverage. It's the A-10/Conf-USA of sports now [/QUOTE]
