All Realignment Talk Here

Marquette is starting Lacrosse in the Spring of 2013. Even with Marquette, the C7 has five lacrosse schools (like I said, you need 6 for an AQ)

Richmond begins Division I play in spring 2014. Richmond will join the Atlantic Sun conference. The Atlantic Sun needed a sixth school for an AQ (you get the AQ right away). Richmond wanted to tell recruits, "you can compete for the tournament immediately."

Since Richmond is basically New Jersey kids...lacrosse recruting should be successful. In addition, its common knowledge that our involvement with Atlantic Sun would only be one or two year... the Atlantic Sun is ok with that, since it has two years to replace Richmond before they lose the AQ.
 
Richmond is a snob school with a ton of rich kids from Long Island.

Creighton is a lock in the new conference. There are some very good
relationships already established with president's.

Yeah, a small, rich, private southern university loaded with white snobs from long island and new jersey would never make it in college basketball. :)

Understood re the numbers I was just looking on Laxpower and noted that Marquette is shown as an independent for this upcoming year. Found that odd.

Long Island is not as filled with "rich snobs" as you think. The entire south shore is basically middle class and nothing too special. Same with the north shore until you get into the nassau areas. LI is not Beverly Hills as many tend to assume...if you live in suffolk on the south shore your life is totally different than someone in Old Westbury or Upper Brookville in Nassau.

Lol...just saying since it was brought up. I hate false stereotypes...I can take anyone through my area and show them it's not all glitter and sunshine. It's not bad but it's not rich snobs either. It's like any other area with some towns infested with poverty and gangs, others with old money on the north shore in nassau, and everything else in between.
 
I don't think I put it the right way...Marquette is currently playing as an independent and begins conference play in the Big East next season (think I got that right)

I think Richmond would make a good lacrosse addition. Richmond will be shopping for a new conference. The C7 needs another member (east coast make sense).

I think Richmond makes a great addition for everything(of course I'm biased)

Richmond is private, it's not in a redundant market, Basketball is the top sport, Richmond will never pursue FBS football, Richmond is on east coast (balances out new additions like Butler/Xavier), like I said Richmond has lacrosse, is upgrading facilities, has decent tradition, olympic sports won't need to fly half across the country (Omaha), and Richmond is academically rigorous (whatever the hell thats worth).

I'm from the North Shore in Suffolk and while Port Jeff/Old Field/Stony Brook/Poquott is pretty affluent we're barely snobs, heck I even hung around with kids from Port Jeff Station in HS and ever since, though only the smart ones. It's all good just as long as you don't bring any South Shore folk around. But even the South Shore folk are better than the Middle Island folk. ;)

Joe, I'm just kidding.

Lol yeah it's definitely not what people picture. In fact, my friend from Staten Island is more sheltered than I am. Within a 15 minutes drive there is regular MS-13 and Latin Kings gang activity, there is actually lots of underground mafia networking still to this day out here, and there seems to be major drug rings busted every month with cocaine, heroine, you name it. I'm more worried in Brentwood and Wyandanch than I am in Jamaica Queens at times. Don't get me wrong there are rich snobs but they are on the north shore in Nassau and all the way out east in the Hamptons in Suffolk. The middle and south of most of the island is strictly middle class. With that said I don't want to piss off Moose so I'm done with the topic, just wanted to clear things up.
 
Anyone who didn't grow up in Elmont and doesn't currently have parents in Sag Harbor is an asshole. That's my Long Island commentary.

And now back to realignment. . .
 
Richmond is on east coast (balances out new additions like Butler/Xavier).

I'm actually for more Midwestern teams so that Xavier would be the most easternmost addition and end up on our side on the conference in a 12-teamer.
 
Currently watching the butler vs St. Louis game on espnu. Great environment at butler. Also sounds like St. Louis has a decent crowd in the building. I hope we add at least one or both of these schools.

Beat me to the punch, 88grad. Great game ... plus the environment at Butler is as good as it gets and the level of play is very high. Would love to get both programs into the new league along with Xavier, VCU, and (long shot) Gonzaga. (Creighton doesn't thrill me ... even though I've kept my eye on them since high school, when I Paul Silas was the nation's best rebounder two years running, and then afterwards, when Willis Reed was their HC.)

The Rev. Donald J. Harrington, president of St. John’s, describes DeGioia as a low key, insightful and pragmatic leader.

“He doesn’t manifest any need to impress people,” said Harrington, who has known DeGioia since 1993. “He listens first, gets a sense of the landscape and then speaks if and when it’s needed. He doesn’t seek to overpower; college presidents can tend not to do that.”

..., shortly before this C7 story broke, JTIII told the Post, "Gtown is exploring what options are best for Gtown." I believe him. What I don't believe is that GTown will actually participate in a league of eatern has beens and mid western never will be's. GTown (and Villanova for that matter), view their peers as ND, BC and each other. Where are their peers going? There's your answer.

you think they are headed to the ACC?

I know they wold like to, but there's no room at the proverbial inn (for now). Also the football issue is an impediment, but perhaps not the insurmountable problem everyone is assuming it to be. The ACC could live without GT or VU's participation in football.
 
After all this it won't happen. G'Town is spearheading the C-7 with us. It's all conspiracy theory.

In other news, I love watching WVU completely fall flat on their face after leaving. Their basketball program will lose a ton of recognition and become irrelevant. That's what they deserve.
