I don't understand this whole thread.  Anyone with a brain knows not only did we do the right thing when we accepted the offer to move leagues, we did the only thing we could have done.  Guys and girls, this is not worth having a discussion on.  If we had a president or a board of trustees that rejected the offer, they should be not only removed but sued.  And I might add, none of our troubles on the field have had anything to do with the move.  None of it.  As a matter of fact, we have won a couple of national titles in some sports since we left. Did the move help them and hurt the hoop and football teams?  Out football program has the problem of not having a solid recruiting base that we can call our own.  As some pointed out, we did we 10 games a few years ago.  Everything went right for us that year, no question.  But we were kind of close to 2 more wins during that regular season.  As for hoop, we got hit with three tough issues all at once.  One, the sanctions.  2. Our best recruiter leaving. 3. Our coach has aged.  This JB isn't the same guy that would get in his car after the season and recruit like crazy.  We can't expect that from someone that age.  But as we discussed on this board over the weekend, this is a problem that has hit all of us because we are not the program we once were.  But none of those things have anything to do with switching leagues.  To be honest, it was mostly luck that this didn't happen to us back in the early 90's. When we got hit with the sanctions at that time, John Wallace, a somewhat local kid, decided to stick with us.  And Moten, who no one really wanted coming out of high school, turned out to be great for us.  And while we lost ground in the Big East, we weren't killed by it.  Oh, and let's not forget Laz Sims staying for a 5th year after Lloyd got d-qued.
