Quote in Chris' article in the paper this AM:

Kallander hinted that some news about potential conference expansion could come out of the spring meetings, but he wouldn't elaborate. Longwood has applied for membership twice and Division II Presbyterian College in South Carolina has shown interest in moving to I-AA and joining the Big South.

Why not bring BOTH teams in? I understand TAMCC is leaving softball after this year, and don't we NEED them (or another team) to keep the auto. bid in the sport? It would help us hedge our bets if Coastal were to jump ship. The Big South certainly doesn't ever need to be placed in a predicament like it was when Campbell bolted. Wasn't there also some talk about Gardner-Webb wanting in, too? Expand to 12 teams would not be a bad thing.

I'd like to see Longwood just for the in state rivalry.

Why not a 12 team league--and set up the BB tournies like the ACC. Top four get the bye, and all teams in. Heck, if The Big East had the Big South's set-up, Syracuse would not have even gotten in!

Yes, I'm all for a 12 team conference, just wanted Longwood to be one of the invites. It would be close to travel to as well.

when SLY gets back he's gonna pound you for even suggesting that Longwood gets in.

I guess many of us old hags can't stomach the fact that they're moving on up- I'd have to begrudgingly admit they may be approaching legitimacy, at least for the BSOUTH.

What's with the hags' beef for Longwood. Girls school? Heck, Radford and JMU used to be girls schools. Longwood has a more legit NCAA tradition than High Point. They belong.

I don't know. We just always sneered at them. Not quite as much after this year's MBB loss. :oops:

That's why it would be fun to have them....as long as we could pound them...it would be great to have the bragging rights. Of course the other side of the coin...

probably within 1/4 mile of you.

he's down on the Mt. w/ the SLY FOX clan this weekend for a East Coast visit. Either that or he got thrown outta TX but won't admit it.

*EDIT: check that, he's on his way out- according to the unofficial itiniery he left us.
