Rick Majerus Wants Out of A-10 and In MVC

If they're a non scholarship program I'll grant it could take
them a while to build a program but I have to think money would be the least of their
concerns.

Has a presence in several good markets and I think would command at least 3 or 4 NCAA bids each season.

Bradley
Butler
Creighton
Dayton
DePaul
Detroit
Drake
Marquette

I think this group of schools would also create a lot of synergy for establishing a premier academic league of private, mid-western schools. The name Ivy league is taken, maybe it could be the "Corn Tassel League." :D
 
I don"t see BU leaving the Valley to join teams that continue to jump around from new league to new league, I could see the Valley expanding to 2 divisions .
 
If we had an opportunity to join a league with creighton, wsu, butler, xavier, Dayton, SLU, depaul and Marquette I hope we'd jump at the chance without reservation.
 
Remember, such a jump would be necessary if the NCAA Division 1 as is splits into an upper tier and lower tier, with the "BCS" schools breaking away from the NCAA. Bradley (and other MVC teams) would then join basketball-only schools making the jump with the power 6 conferences.

It's going to be fun :)

Without a doubt! Continuing with the status quo in this situation would be a bad deal for us. A super mid-west non-football league would be killer and if they can brand it with some academic impact and cooperation the sky is the limit to the potential revenue and quality of student it would attract. Do not kid yourself if this becomes a reality that the Administration would not jump at it.

Plus the recruiting... I think Iman Shumpert would be a Brave had we been in this conference three years ago. :) That or a Marquette Golden Eagle since they were the other final three school he had listed, if I recall.
