What tradition? We lost BC and WVU. If we didn't go we would have lost Pitt as well. Those are three of our most enduring rivalries. We are a school that plays football, and this leagues is not feasible for that and won't be going forward because the powers that be in the conference never fully embraced football. It was always a basketball league first, even going back to its inception. That shortsightedness has put them in the situation they are in now. You know what? Smith-Corona and Kodak used to be industry giants, but they didn't change with the market and look how that's worked out. Same situation with the Big East.

Our school is not meant for the A-10 or a Catholic basketball league, that's where this league is heading. We play football and basketball and need to be in a league that embraces both equally. Sure traditions matter and 15 years from now when we're waxing Georgetown by 40 like we do Colgate we can reminisce about the traditions that made both those rivalries great back in the day.
