Fair point. Counterpoint is the same could be said about Davidson under McKillop

Also a fair point. Counter-counterpoint is that Davidson also had Lefty Driesell and Terry Holland as HCs and boast a far richer basketball history than Belmont.

That is very true. Davidson does boast a very rich history unlike Belmont, making Belmont more a gamble than Davidson was in that sense

It's water under the bridge because they're in but Davidson is a major long term risk. They're a small school with a limited reach. They don't even have the most history in their area, Charlotte does. Then on top of that, they're in a state with Duke, Carolina, NC State and even Wake and on top of that just across the border from so many more schools, including Clemson and South Carolina.

I think the A-10 jumped the gun. Steph Curry was a great player and I know they had a few good teams before that but they have a limited ceiling. Davidson themselves may have to eventually drop back down to the SoCon.

I thought adding Davidson was a mistake. I was wrong. Bonus points....Davidson is actually rich enough to continue to spend what it will take to be a top 60 basketball program.

And Davidson is a VERY rich school. Roughly 10 times the endowment of Belmont on a per student basis. And Davidson has a network of very successful alumni. If they want to stay at the higher level, they can easily spend the bucks to do it.
