I know how badly you want to join our conference, but posting more than everyone else on this message board is not going to do anything help your cause.
Once Xavier joined the BE, I was hoping to get away from reading the complete and utter dross that can be found on our previous conference's board. Hopefully he'll go away once the season starts and post on a board that is actually relevant to his school.
Relax dude, if the conference expands, you'll likely be in. I just don't understand why you spend so much time here.

As far as I know there are three SLU fans that post here regularly Billwin, Dump, and myself. I know of no posts from anyone who presents themselves as a SLU fan who said that the BE now has to expand.
The only person who has posted anything about the BE needing to expand due to Stevens leaving was Bewannabe. BEwannabe is a troll and has never been connected in anyway with SLU fans. If you go back through and read the thread you'll see that he is the only person who said such nonsense. Unfortunately somehow someone confused my posts with his posts and this turned into a SLU fan said thing.
NO SLU FAN HAS SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE BE NOW NEEDS TO EXPAND. Go to their site outside of a few trolls the BE expansion concept is a non-starter. Jesus, sure SLU would love to be in the BE with 3 million a year but no one is delusional enough to think that just because Stevens left the league will simply expand.

Nothing against them, but the conference had to get to 10, and it has. I'd have been ok if it was SLU over Creighton. But we have our 10. Unless we get UConn, or unless FOX needs us (and pays us) to expand, 10 is the number.

Is this what we can come to expect now? Anytime a single BE school has any sort of bad news (and every school has bad news from time to time) that the usual suspects (BillEsq and others) will run right over here and somehow claim that the league must expand as a result?
Just stop it. We get that you want your respective teams in. That's nice. But frankly, I almost feel myself wanting SLU less and less with every "you need to add us now" post that I read.
E) To your point of "making deep runs" SLU has and it will continue to. The weakened A10 will make a perfect launching pad for the new BE after our back-to-back conference championships and undefeated title run which will place the 13-14 squad in basketball lore. This post was pure fan madness. Something you need to put up with on message boards.

Assuming the worst and Butler suffers the league just takes an RPI hit and moves on. As far as TV exposure getting better coaches... just ask Seton Hall, DePaul, heck UCLA how that has worked out, there are no guarantees with coaches.
BEWannabe implicitly made the suggestion then became conspicuously absent when asked to define what would qualify the Big East as a failure. In other words, BEWannabe be trolling.
