Oh what could have been. Should so be 3-0.
Only got 3 last year and yukon is in preliminary discussions with the ACC that are supposed to pick up in the spring. Well, there's always Dayton.
The Big East's performance to date is very concerning. As the season goes on some of the other Big East teams will get better but as we know from last season it won't matter. We are going to need to be very good the rest of the season to make the NCAA. Circle the Marquette games on the schedule.
Harvard could be a bellwether game . We might be in the midst of a BE descent into MAAC status .
Hope not but , this season looking like a fall from the perch . Not only us but , our brethren schools except Marquette , not faring well
The money available to State Schools to use on NIL is far more than any BE School can afford , even with the Repole $$$ we are getting .
Also too , with Players being Free Agents as they are to play for a year or 2 , College Coaches have to deal with the dynamic of Team Chemistry
with the Newcomers.
It’s a difficult transition for Veteran Coaches to deal with and some are choosing not to .

DePaul lulling everyone into a false sense of complacency by not playing any good teams. Very crafty of them.

They've been ranked #1 or 2 by these 70 year old codgers all season. These early season rankings are beyond useless. The first NET ranking gets released on Monday. At least they wait for enough games to be played so as to have enough data to compile something concrete.
Here's the first NET ranking released last December.

UConn is now clearly a football school
Well they start serious negotiations with the ACC when hoop season's over. Good thing their football team has 7 wins.
