How was basketball equivalent Butler built? The biggest conference jump (Horizon to Big East) in college sports this century?

Through OOC scheduling. Did you know the second year Butler played in the National Title game - they started 5-5 in the Horizon? No one remembers that. Everyone remembers that Butler beat 4 P5’s in Nov/Dec before doing it all over again in March.

You're comparing apples to oranges bro. In bball even top seeds commonly lose 4-5 games. You can't lose like that in football.

Let's schedule carefully, win, and maybe get invited to a better conference like the AAC.

Our record has nothing to do with getting into another conference. Well, certainly not an undefeated one. Beating nationally recognized opponents FAR outweighs going undefeated against terrible teams. Also, we would need a new stadium and a bunch of money.
