Fortunately other teams stepped up but it's definitely surprising.
Marquette is a great program and recruiting at a high level so they'll turn it around.

Its a credit to the league that we have been so good when 2 of the 3 stalwarts of the league have largely disappointed.

Come on, you don't really believe this, do you. That would be incredibly short sighted vision for the University Presidents. No way a business plan is put together based on short term success of 20% of the group. This is a long term relationship, not a what have you done for me lately venture. If the vision was that short term, then DePaul would have been cast aside.
