RE: Basketball Going Forward
Just to put numbers to what you already know.... SMU and Cincy were a combined 35-1 against the rest of the league.

But adding Wichita St, or even Dayton and VCU is not the obe model.
The Commissioner, and I, disagree.
Is there a link to Aresco saying that adding one non-football member to a group of 11 all-sports members and 1 football-only member = "the old Big East model"??

RE: Basketball Going Forward
If Aresco is ok with Navy being a partial member for football, I have a hard time believing he'd be opposed to WSU being a partial member for all other sports. Even if there were an issue where the split came down to full members vs. partial members, 11 vs. 2 is a pretty comfortable majority. If we can add VCU and Dayton, too, then great. But I see no reason why WSU should not be added sooner rather than later.

its ultimately not even up to aresco. PResidents make the decision. As it is I agree with you, Navy is fball only so adding a olympic sports only just makes sense, especially one with as much cache as wichita state. Would boost baseball and basketball immediately.
