Thanks, he is a Jersey kid and played against us last year.
I though familiarity was supposed to breed comtempt?

You could not be more wrong ! The Pace Setters are stirring up interest far beyond SUNY Purchase . After all , they beat New York’s team .We are nothing like DePaul. Even being bad for years, we still got loads of views. We also have MSG. DePaul could be located in Tokyo, it doesn’t matter. They don’t get views and they don’t attract fans. It’s like saying Suny Purchase brings the NYC market.
DePaul averaged 1,800 real attendance a game last year. One game they got 557 fans and 777 for another. It’s insane. Dayton averaged 13,407 by comparison. Dayton brings in a higher % of views from Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus tv markets than DePaul does in Chicago.
Programs are going to get dropped and left behind now. Look at Washington State and Oregon State. Vandy, Northwestern, and Rutgers are on borrowed time.
In a perfect world you want the Chicago market, but not at the expense of DePaul bringing down every metric imaginable.
Sampson much better with the X's and O's.Although I’m not a fan , a guy like Kelvin Sampson is that type . A little shady but , gets it done . If Wade is cut from that cloth too , maybe he’s worth a look for the Blue Demons ?
Butler is no pushover. Beating them twice is not a given. I predict they will compete at Xavier’s level.Posh with 6 assists in first half.
I used Tokyo because of it's population, not it's location. It has 40 million people in its metro area. DePaul doesn't get eyeballs. Do you think Fordham brings the NYC market to the A-10?Pretty much everything in this is completely ridiculous. It does matter that DePaul is in Chicago and not Tokyo. The fact they are in Chicago is literally why they are in the league lol. It's not like they were a top tier program before joining the league and have just fallen on hard times since. They've been decent at times in the past but were never a top tier program.
The only metric that matters in this day and age is the TV contract. Nothing else comes close to it from the conference perspective. Having a school in Chicago is very important in that respect because it matters how many homes your network is in. Chicago has nearly 2x the population of Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus combined.
Comparing what happened to Washington State and Oregon State to kicking DePaul out of the Big East is comparing apples and machetes. Neither of those schools got kicked out of a conference, they just got left standing in a game of conference musical chairs when the P12 imploded.
Vanderbilt, Northwestern, and Rutgers are set for life. Northwestern is in Chicago, Vanderbilt is in Nashville and Rutgers is the only major CFB program in the general vicinity of NYC. They won't get booted from their conferences for 100 years.
Posh is going to eat Jenkins' lunch. Triple-double tonight with 3 steals to boot.Butler is no pushover. Beating them twice is not a given. I predict they will compete at Xavier’s level.
