Hosting juniors in the coach's home and unlimited contact...hmmm...
sounds like they consulted Bruce Pearl and Kelvin Sampson to make these rule changes!!!

Obviously these rule changes will give the bigger, richer schools more recruiting advantages..

You cannot allow coaches unlimited time or access to high school recruits as these players need personal time of their own and bothering them more with calls and texts is not the right thing to do, the AAU thing is just another way to put money into the hands of these handlers, the NCAA needs more restrictions not less.

Has the NCAA just stopped even pretending they are fair? Every single one of these changes plays into the hands of the elite, big money schools. Ugh...

Sounds like you are on the verge of starting, "Occupy BCS"

BCS has the NCAA over a barrel! The basketball only schools better find a way to become nationally relevant if they want a chance of recruiting the best talent.

Georgetown
Villanova
St. John
De Paul
U Mass
Xavier
Butler
Marquette
SLU
Creighton
and throw in 6 more schools, two divisions and you would have a pretty good TV market with some great hoops. Could Bradley be one of those schools?

Unfortunately, based on performance, I would argue no. We do draw a great local crowd, but I don't think if I were building a conference I would care - we need to build a consistent winner, and quick!

I agree but BU does bring to the table a few intangibles to any basketball only conference. Will it be enough if we do not improve our programs success. De Paul is lucky to be in Chicago or else they would be irrelevant.
