This news does suck. Was really looking forward to at least one year of seeing the "BE" schools come to moody. BUT...............

I'm still excited for next year. We are going to have a much better team, and our schedule won't be as much of a killer. If we can compete against UCONN, Cincy, Memphis, and Temple for the championship. That would be a ton of fun. I'm already seeing rainbow skies and wanting to go to Memphis for the NBE tourney!

Could be a lot worse, we could be playing UTSA and UNT conference games next year!

If UCONN and Cincy get out in the next 2 years, then I'll be really bummed.

The conference championship won't be at MSG?

[ponydawg]

I bet that is sold to the C7 along with the BE name. So either playing in memphis, cincy, or conn where most tickets would be bought is my guess.

I know, it sucks......but it could be a lot worse.

I'll take playing b-ball agains UCONN, CINCY, TEMPLE, MEMPHIS, and louisville (for one year hopefully) over UTSA, UNT, and the new CUSA.

Go West...

What about playing the conference tourney in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center?

What about playing the conference tourney in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center?

Playing at Barclays while the BE is at MSG is a train wreck waiting to happen. The NYC media and fans would ignore the NBE..

Why not play it in New Orleans and have a great party?

Go West...

Agree at this point yes

I'm sure UConn and Louisville will have the most influence on determining the site. I like the idea of New Orleans, perhaps a big reason others wanted to invite Tulane. I'm sure Memphis will be another option.
