I'd like to see that too. Maybe some people need a couple years to let the hard feelings die down.

AAC being ESPN and Big East being a Fox property has some to do with it

The BE had a conference challenge with the Big 10 this past season and the Big 10 has a contract with ESPN, right?

The american should definitely do a conference vs conference challenge. If one of the bigger conferences wont agree I would settle for the Atlantic 10

I'd barely even consider it settling. I love A10 basketball. (Though obviously I understand a P5 conference would be better for exposure.)

If Current scores hold the PAC 10 is looking at going 1-5 with only one more team remaining.

SMU fans are proving to be excellent bracket builders.

checkout the SMU Fan Page on the ESPN bracket, 185 of the 410 real entries from SMU fans are ranked in the top 18%.

OK, first of all. . .this response is funny.

Second of all. . .Hoop, when you advocate for Wichita, is that premised on the idea that an AAC space will open up b/c someone leaves? Or are you advocating for AAC expansion? Just curious.
