While Butler, Xavier and a team yet to be determined are expected to join the new Big East this fall, the Catholic 7 schools are also expected to add Creighton, Dayton and St. Louis in 2014 for a 13-team league.

I think if we aren't part of the conference, Few will strive to schedule 2-3 year commitments to play home and away series with 3-4 of these C7 teams (C9 now?). We can become a regular part of the rotation and if we can win, all it would do is help our reputation and OOC RPI.
I would love a home and away with Butler, Villanova, or Marquette ANY DAY!“People can talk. People can speculate. These guys are hungry and they're ready to go." Mark Few

Move on
I actually am glad this is over for GU. I do not think that mention of GU was ever anything more than a trial balloon. Plus, I think that their going with Fox Sports instead of ESPN is a mistake. Those schools are just too far away for all of our team sports other than basketball, and realistically the WCC was not going to let us stay for just baseball and soccer.
The WCC may not be perfect, but on the whole it has worked out pretty well for us, especially since 1999.

I agree with the fustercluck sentiment. Also, I hate the foxsports affiliation. ESPN has more clout amongst the kids. Who turns into ROOT to watch anything other then the specific game they are looking for? Every sports fan has ESPN on the rest of the time.
Let's take UW's spot in the Pac12. PK can play TE.

Meh. I'd rather do the Mountain West...not that they're looking to add hoops teams without football programs.“No team in the country has a better winning percentage against power conference teams since 2017 than Gonzaga... the Zags are playing above average teams in the best leagues in the country and winning 78% of the time.”

It's time for the Zags to leave the WCC.
Pacific is not coming to help the conference in basketball, and Gonzaga has outgrown the WCC as a whole.
Butler and VCU have moved on from their garbage conferences and we should be doing the same. We should do one of the following:
- Pac-12 should extend us an invitation as non-football member
- Mountain West should extend us an invitation as a non-football member
- We should grab St. Mary's and join with the Catholic 7
