I hope Gonzaga gets in. If only so they don't go to the MWC or Pac10

To cement the conference as the Premier basketball league

It complicates travel. And what about all of their other sports?

I’ve never understood why a travel partner is such a big deal.

I don’t know, but that is not my concern. How do the non-revenue sports afford

The other part- what happens when few retires? Do they even continue to be good?

They are loaded. And college basketball is all about coaching. Meaning

They have great records based on easy WCC schedules.

Go look up how many times they've advanced in the NCAA tournament

Schultz is back

Lol....you really think they will be as successful with a harder schedule?

WJCougar

Being successful ≠ being top dog in the Big12

Schultz is back

2/1/23 7:24pm

You believe they will be less prepared for the NCAA Tournament if in the Big 12?

Not a fan. I think having an orphan program that doesn't bring football doesn't

You should look up Big 12 wrestling. You might find someone surprising there.

Wrestling is not basketball

PURE Speculation but I actually think the Big 12 pumps the brakes on Gonzaga because there may be an opportunity to get
