Message: [QUOTE="Orangello, post: 20255, member: 597"] "ND's only driver is if the new BE hoops conference is not sufficient for their other sports. Gtown, St. Johns, Nova, Marquette, Providence, SH, Depaul, ND. Add one more Catholic school, (Xavier for example) and they have a nice 9 team league of similar schools." Therein is the problem. The BB onlies + ND might be fine for BB but it does nothing for ND's other olympic sports and thus is really not an option. I'm also not so sure that the combo BE + Big12 leftovers will be as willing to cut ND the sweetheart deal the old BE gave to them or for that matter, will be willing to keep the unwieldy 21 team mess with all sports and BB onlies. I think you'll see a 12 team all sport and the BB onlies split which is doubly bad for ND. [/QUOTE]
