Congrats
In all honesty the name is probably where it SHOULD be. Looks like you've got a solid hoops league going forward and everybody should be on the same page for a change. The additions of Butler, Xavier, St Louis and Dayton are exactly as I predicted. I thought Richmond would be #5 but not surprised at all Creighton made it. Their basketball and following is too good to ignore.
A lot of ECU fans have said a lot of bad things about your schools but the reality is we have nothing in common. Many of our fans have never been able to wrap their minds around things like institutional fit and the importance of basketball. The Big East was always sort of a "Holy Grail" for our fanbase as we just missed the FB only cut in 1991. We've been way too myopic at times only caring only about football. Believe it or not, I think we've finally learned our lesson with that as hoops is trending in the right direction. I just hope things settle down and we get some closure on the football side of things.
Unfortunately Power 5 football has destroyed a lot of what I once enjoyed about college sports.
Again, good luck to all of your schools.
