The aroma I detect from all this is the Hoya DESPERATION that surrounds the fan interest in recruiting Noel.
 
Most of their fans know that they are about to take a huge hit in terms of the Big East Conference morphing into C-USA.
 
The GU future starts to look very much like a home in an East Coast / Midwest All Catholic Conference. Georgetown with its minicule fan base will draw even smaller crowds at the MCI Center. It's half full now. Can they afford the rent if it's only a quarter full?
 
So Noel is a "must have" for GU as his presence forestalls irelevancy ... at least for a few years. If you want to see GU's future... look closely at St Joes in Phila. That's where they are headed.
 
But either way, the Georgetown v. SU relationship is about to come to a halt. In spite of Boeheim's stated interest in continuing to play Georgetown, I think our new circumstances will lobby against it. Out of Conference "rivalries" are largely a myth. When the game means little, there's little reason to play it.
