100 %. Townie always brings up Gtown as a correlery to what Cuse would face after JB retires. But the Gtown parallel doesn’t fit. Gtown isn’t in a P5 conference with the kinds of resources Cuse has with the ACC TV contract  (plus the Dome, with 35,000+ attendance games that gives us additional revenue that Gtown can’t match). The fake/new Big East is a decent conference but it’s not a P5 conference. Coaches like Chris Mack leave good BE basketball schools like Xavier because places like Louisville (and Syracuse) will always have more resources—and have an equally basketball crazed fan base. Read those articles on why Buzz left Marquette for Va Tech. People didn’t understand at the time, but he doesn’t see the smaller conferences as being as viable long term. Villanova is an outlier less because of their history but because Jay Wright has been there so long and spent nearly two decades building something and now he doesn’t need to leave. But he’s an anomaly. If Wojo continues to succeed at Marquette, he’ll probably jump up to take over Duke when K retires or to a top flight job in a P5 conference.
