Pretty huge for Creighton - obviously this makes us much more competitive going into the BE next season.

I cannot overstate how big of a decision this is for the league. Having a likely preseason national player of the year in a new league is huge for PR and should be a boost for TV ratings and fan interest.

Good news after Porter and Blue leaving. Need a premier player/name in the league.

This.

Good news for the Bluejays is good news for the league, well except for that trying to beat them on the court thing.

From Goodman. Sounds like a great kid - will be fun seeing him in the Big East this fall.

Dad said to go and Doug decided to stay. In today's college hoops world, this is fantastic!

In the process of gathering that information, his coach came to the conclusion that Doug should enter the draft. “I think Doug would tell you that more than anyone else, I was an advocate that he should go, because that’s what the facts said. I felt my responsibility to him was to sort out the facts and present them to him. But as time went on and I started listening to what was important to Doug, I realized that facts aren’t everything. There’s a lot of reasons that Creighton is near and dear to his heart. Obviously, playing for his dad is not something everybody gets to do. Having his mom and sister at every game, and being as attached to our fanbase as Doug is…you know, he really likes it here.”

Congrats to Creighton! I agree with others that this is great news for the league. Looking forward to seeing him play in person next year at the Cintas.

Great for Creighton and great for the Big East.....I'm sure Fox is pretty happy as well.
