Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

Its been 1/2 of a year. And you are already throwing dirt on them? Wierd.
Rutgers was in the Big East 18 years and had 0 winning conference records. They're looking at their 3rd in 4 years now. I mean I knew the B10 was bad, but I didn't realize it was that terrible.
Kinda kidding...I know how bad it is, that's why I clean up gambling fading B10 teams every NCAA tournament.
That's a little harsh. Cincy has made the tourney 9 times since 2010. BYU has 6 tourney appearances since 2010.
Cincy is a middle of the pack team in the Big 12 moving forward. BYU is likely behind them but not some scrub.
I guess I have a different definition of relevant. Out of those 9 appearances they made it out of the first weekend once. Anyone can make the tournament but actually doing something in it is what matters, just look at Iowa.
Iowa fans tell us it’s better to win the NIT than make the NCAA and lose. So they aren’t normal.
Well those fans awe idiots but I’m sure people already knew that
Clearly.
Making the tourney means you're in the top 19% of college basketball. That seems relevant to me.
Or it means you got lucky in your conference tournament, or you played in a super easy conference. Its still 68 teams getting in, that 19% just looks better because almost every D1 school can afford to run a basketball program.
Rollie Massimino says "hi".
They have history and a good location, just need the right coach. Not unlike a ton of other schools. It's all about having the right coach.
If I am the Cincinnati AD, would be happy with what Wes Miller has done 2 years in. They are 15-8 overall (Non-con losses to Arizona, Ohio State & Xavier) and 6-4 in the AAC with losses to the top 3 teams: Houston(2x), Temple & Memphis. They might be on the outside of the NCAA Tournament bubble, but their AAC schedule difficulty has been front end loaded.
Have no idea if they can become a solid Big12 team, but they have a good tradition, hot young coach and good area to recruit.
I think its way too soon to slap that label on what was just a perrinial late weekend tournament team. I think Neptune sucks and wont last long but 1 bad season doesnt undo everything Nova has been
Yes, but very, very poorly.
I don’t know where to appropriately post this but this is funny as hell.
No! No team that has switched conferences has ever improved. Spartan is right, no matter how many times he has to move his goal posts.
It doesn’t undo it all for sure. But when you replace a coach like Wright with the current guy you are going to have a problem if it goes on for a couple years. Just look at how irrelevant Georgetown is.
