RBC - Rust Belt Conference

I agree that 10-12 team conferences make the most sense for basketball and probably jus about every sport for that matter. Not sure of the megaconference threat is gone but it does seem to have receded. I also think that for Bradley it's fairly important to try to seperate itself from schools who are interested in FBS football and/or conferences with a similar interest as I believe Bradley could be a second class citizen in any such conference.
 
This may be the very first time I agree with KW or he agrees with me. I also believe he has been reading BradleyFans.com I have said as much as his column. He did add a quote from Cross which seems to indicate that the Admin is trying to put BU on the right track in case we need to make a changes.
 
For whatever it's worth KW's conference is almost identical to the one I proposed in the "valley expansion" thread on this board... The only differences being that his eastern conference has LaSalle and Duquesne where I had UMass and George Washington (or George Mason). To be fair, I think Duquesne might be a better choice than GWU/GMU because of the added TV market where GWU/GMU would just compete with Georgetown. Anyway, nice to see KW agitating in a direction some of us are looking.
