For Funsies: Conference Reallignment/Creation

[ssvcu90]

I know someone has to lose, but why Fordham...

I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.

Bring back former NCAA/NIT champion City College of New York ... folks have forgotten the point shaving after all these decades. Remember, CCNY played in VCU tournament during Noe era, with Floyd "Shaver" Layne coaching the Noo Yawkuhs.

Maybe they should stay in Division III...

I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.

It’s a silly proposal and probably isn’t serious but I’d be fine with having to play Fordham if that many stronger teams were in our conference.

Get rid of Fordham, Duquesne, LaSalle and St. Louis (too far west). We could have some fun! And bring in relegation. It would work easier than a cross-nation conference.

I was actually there for that one. Didn't know who CCNY was. as I recall, we gave them a pretty good trouncing.

Get rid of Fur.
Hurts our net.

 

[BaNgMyPrOgRaM]

You are right, Sir. They started it.

 

[BaNgMyPrOgRaM]

I really don't want to keep St. Louis though.

They just hired Wright's assistant from Vilanova so who knows, they may be become relevant in the near future.

They will if he hires Wright as his assistant.

Statistics/history say otherwise. Tom Pecora went 154-125 at Hofstra, which is basically across the river from Fordham on Long Island. Pecora moved to Fordham and ended up with a 44-106 record before they fired him. You have to go back to Tom Penders, who was at Fordham from 1978-86, to find a coach with a winning record. That's 35 years!

Mike will have to hire a salary cap analyst!

 

[TampaKAP]

I'd rather be in a conference with Iona and Vermont than Fordham and LaSalle

There is no salary cap in the SEC 😎

There is an old joke that when Rick Pitino left Kentucky for the NBA, he said something about taking on a new challenge, to which a few pundits weighed in that working within the constraints of a salary cap would prove to be the toughest one!
