ivet...the issue isn't so much that ECU or USM weren't invited, it's how ridiculous the process became as time passed. Honestly many of us didn't think it was likely for ECU to get an invite. When WVU left, that was the deal breaker for me, frankly I didn't care if we got an invite or not but you couldn't write this script if you tried.

I mean honestly taking USF, SDSU, SMU and UCF are CLEARLY nothing more than a market grab, don't kid yourself. Boise was a desperation grab for AQ points that looks pointless now. To the fans that have been snubbed that's hilarious. Over time we heard (especially from CatsClaw) about a massive TV contract coming, how the BE could raid the ACC....blah, blah, blah we heard it all. ECU's name has been dragged through the mud relentlessly by some posters on here, way before I remember seeing your first post.

I think the BE is a great basketball conference that should have just split or added Temple and Memphis.
