The A10 may suck, but not nearly as much as the SoCon. I think A10 was ranked 7th last year and SoCon was around 21st, their usual spot. If anyone thinks we have issues recruiting now, try recruiting in the SoCon.

Hootie, I know what you’re saying and I have to agree with your “location argument”, but we’ve come way to far to throw it all away now. We need to be IN POSITION for the next conference shakeups… not in position to watch us play in another high school gym.

Most BCS schools do not have the luxury of driving “down the road” watch an away game. It’s a long way from Arizona to Washington. It’s a long way from Miaimi to Boston. And Charlotte is closer to most (if not all) A10 schools than Columbus is to Minnesota.

Thats Hootie’s quote–not mine!

I’ll give you having the regional rivalries would be nice. But I still think it’s a step back in competitiveness for basketball.

I assume this was meant for Hootie----not me?

I think I’ve been misquoted. I don’t think the SoCon sucks as bad as some of you think. Just my opinion

And just in case some of you guys haven’t noticed- we ain’t what we used to be. I wouldn’t be bad-mouthing another conference with this suck-ass product we’ve fielded the last three yrs. Just a reality check, fellas.

And I’m not for settling, I just think we would be better on lots of fronts in the SoCon including baseball. Local teams like App would bring in lots of fans. Ask Bigtime niner who we get better crowds for, Duquense or App or Charleston or some of those guys. Look, if you guys disagree, that’s ok.

Plus, if we got our crap together the SoCon could gets to bids in some yrs.

Oh yeah, the A-10 is a one bid league unless X loses in the tourney.

Looking back at the quotes, it looks like something is screwed up.

This was my response to your statement on the first page.
