(Mythical) Jesuit Basketball Conference

[PMI]

I would make the trip to Rome or Paris for the St. Ignatius Invitational.

What is a Mythical Jesuit anyway? Father Hulk?

this is a signature line on the Creighton board...

Father Schlegel said, "Creighton aspires to be among the top-tier Catholic universities, mentioned in the same breath as Notre Dame, Georgetown and Boston College. "

If we wanted to cut the west coast travel what about this league (I know it is not Jesuit):

X
Depaul
Marquette
ND
Gtown
St. Joes
SLU
Dayton
Creighton
Butler

18 game league. You drop the dogs (Detroit, Loyola, Canisius, San Fran & Santa Clara). Granted you don't have Gonzaga but I think the overall league would be much better.

You could add 0-5 Denver to the West div

Pluto,

I'd drop DePaul and St. Joe's and add Villanova. 'Nova is the better choice from Philly and DePaul has done virtually nothing since Ray Meyer was coach back in the 1700's (although the Chicago presence would be nice with a better program).

Then you have a 16-game Conference schedule and more opportunity to design an OOC schedule to fit your needs (traditional rivals + RPI builders + a couple of cupcakes + an attractive in-season Tourney)

Heck, I would just throw Duke, Wake Forest, and Vanderbilt in there because we have just a good a shot at that happening.
