Not sure if anyone saw the account of Mike Slive's (former CUSA Commissioner while MU was a member and current SEC Commissioner) speech where he outlined a new NCAA Subdivision to be comprised of the 5 largest football playing conferences. I really don't have a big problem with this if it is confined to football but my concern is that it's only a matter of time before it is expanded to basketball since it's the only other major revenue generating sport. If that takes place does Marquette step up to play with the large public universities? Clearly MU has shown, through its spending, a commitment to fielding an excellent Division I hoops squad but once again, as it did in destroying was was the Big East, I have to wonder if football will destroy college basketball.
