I voted NO since I was critical of the last version of the Big East inviting schools like Boise State to be members. For me to vote YES on Gonzaga to join the current version of the Big East would be hypocritical of me.

is gonzaga going to be relocated to Davenport, IA?

if not - seems like kind of a pointless question.

If Fred Garvin got his way, yes.

Boise State was a one trick pony - football only. And they had nothing in common with any of the other schools. Inviting a basketball-first Jesuit college for all sports to a Catholic school conference built around basketball is a completely different animal.

Gonzaga is the best Basketball only school that is not currently in the league. If they're willing to make the trek I say bring them on board. I doubt it happens, but it would be great if it did. I'd also be willing to let BYU store their Non football sports in the BE ala ND. But that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

I'd rather have Gonzaga than any other candidate that's been mentioned. Private, no FBS football team, and they've shown an ability to have sustained basketball success beyond two or three years, which certainly doesn't fit Dayton, Richmond, or SLU.

Couldn't pass up another shot at Saint Louis, could ya?

basketball wise - no brainer

logistics wise - it'd be insane

do a quick search from providence to spokane

it involves at least 2 and maybe three PLANE CHANGES - and that's one way

it'd be a terrible situation for student athletes - even worse for fans that might want to travel to a game.
