Fourth paragraph from the bottom.
IMHO, this is all about a matter of 'when' and not 'if.' We are going to end up in a solid basketball-centric conference.
The expansion of the tournament doesn't bother me as much. I believe it should still be regarded as a money grab and a net-negative move by the NCAA loggerheads, but it also plays into Xavier's hands as well - we know how to perform at a high level to garner top 32 positioning and good seeding in most years.
Doing that in the future with the likes of Vilanova over LossSuck can only bring more visibility to the school and program.
At any rate, here you go:
