This years team is very strong and the recruiting for next year will keep the ball rolling for years to come. Our arena after it’s 80 mill redo is simply terrific and we just announced our 11 sellout of the year. Our attendance would rank us 3rd and the endowment is larger than 6 of the member schools. We have played in more NCAA games the last 10 years then 6 of the member schools. The profile of the school and the travel also are a good fit. We travel better than any school in the BIg East, we are already invited back to Maui in 4 years because of the enormous turnout ESPN saw this year and last year in the Bahamas. We also would be in full force at MSG for the tourney. A huge portion of our alumni base resides in NJ/NY and Conn so our games with Seton Hall/St John and UConn would draw a large Dayton crowd. Last year we brought over 1000 to the Fordham game in the Bronx. The natural rivalries with Butler and our good friends at Xavier would receive National attention and be good for the conference. Some worry about recruiting and going after the same kids... the big boys do that very day and we have only 3 kids from Ohio on this years team not including walk ons. You will hear a lot about us this year And next if you haven’t already and would be a great new member for The conference and TV. So leave your guns at the door and turn a game on this year from Dayton arena, you will be impressed and also watch Obi Toppin candidate for Player of the year. The good news we will be better the next 2 years on a National level. Dayton would mean more money and success for each member....Perfect Fit.

I don't think anyone (except X fans) would argue that Dayton wouldn't be a very good fit in the Big East. It's just that we don't need you, Gonzaga, or any of the other schools that are out there. Truth be told, we didn't need UConn either, but the history, and potential were too much to ignore. ND would be the only program that we would probably not be able to turn down as a member. If the A10 would get rid of some of the dead weight, you guys could be a BE lite. The top of your league is pretty solid, especially with St. Louis and Duquesne apparently getting it together. Getting rid of Fordham, and probably LaSalle would be a good start. With George Mason in the league, do you really need GW? 11 teams, round robin schedule, sound familiar?

Joining the Big East is about a lot more than a relatively brief period of success on the court. It took Butler 25 years of building on an ok history to even be considered - and that took multiple seismic events to make that happen. If this was 2009, Dayton would be looking good. They’re 10 years too late to the realignment party.
