Butler not ruling out joining new league
From David Woods of The Indianapolis Star:

http://www.indystar.com/article/20121223...ck_check=1

Quotes:

"Butler basketball coach Brad Stevens on Saturday reinforced what university president James Danko said in a statement about conference realignment: Butler will do what is best for the school. I definitely agree with the decision. They had to," Stevens said of the Catholic 7."

"A source told The Indianapolis Star that Fox was the top contender for a new league's television rights, a development affirmed by S.I."

Good to hear...

RE: Butler not ruling out joining new league
This is an article about Butler's AD James Danko from a few days ago:

Butler President James Danko adds to speculation Bulldogs could leave Atlantic 10

"I greatly respect -- and agree with -- the collective conviction of the 'Catholic 7' to control their own destiny or someone else will," Danko's statement said. "Butler, too, has controlled its destiny proactively, for example, when it made the decision to join the outstanding Atlantic 10 Conference and through its values-based approach to athletics. The fact that Butler is now being mentioned prominently as a potential candidate to join the 'Catholic 7' universities in a new athletic league, is a tribute to the success of our athletic program overall and our men's basketball team, in particular."

"Danko went on to say Butler "will continue to do what is right for Butler."

"Butler would be remiss not to accept an invitation. For Butler, it would be the best of all worlds: geographic neighbors (DePaul, Marquette, Xavier, maybe others); exposure in major media markets (New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago); inclusion in a power conference. There would be no need for Brad Stevens to leave to coach in a major conference. He would be living in one."

"Danko became Butler's president on April 27, 2011, after serving as dean of Villanova's business school."
