Creighton has only been in the Big East for two years - one of them being a rebuilding year - after being in a mid-major conference from 1977-2013. Notre Dame was in the Big East for more than 15 years. Of course they look better on paper than us (Though ND surprisingly only has one S16 and has only 2 more NCAA appearances in the last 10 years than us).
I do agree with the ND-Duke argument you make.
False, I think Creighton certainly belongs, and am glad it's you guys over Dayton which I expected. But just because you guys fit doesn't mean I don't think there's one catholic school I miss playing and think was better than you guys. I'm not gonna suck up to your history just because we're in the same conference, I've made it clear I only suck up to two schools in this conference that are not Marquette. I think it's a great mid major history, I think there's no excuse for no second weekend appearances since the early 70s. While the mid major argument might work for others remember we were independent and mid major till 2005, we didn't look great in that time but still had second weekend appearances, as did ND as an Independent. And that's one more elite 8 in the last ten years not sweet 16.
Now that we cleared up that I don't hate you guys nor think you don't fit and am just tougher on you guys than the other teams lets get back to the point. ND would be better than Duke, maybe not for having an elite school but certainly for this conference's culture in my opinion.
