Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 356107, member: 780"] No more "sense of betrayal" than usual. Everytime a school leaves a conference, some in the remaining group call them "traitors" or frequently "traders". The Catholic school forums I read are like travelers on a train who have slept through their stop. Now they find themselves in an unfamilar place and can't exactly understand where they are, how they got there or what happens next. SMU and Houston and Boise State and Central Florida are as distant from Providence and Villanova and St Johns as you can get in so many ways. They appear to be peering into the abyss of an All Catholic, All non-football Conference and wondering if that isn't the future. Notre Dame's departure is just one more brick on the load. By the way, during our tenure in the Big East, there was no school that voted as consistently with the Basketball-onlys as did SU. This reflected the huge role that basketball plays at SU. [/QUOTE]
