In reply to: Rogabee 's message, "Disagree. First, if the A10 knew we were courting the Patriot League, we'd be kicked out immediately. Secondly, we can be competitive in the A10. No need to take a step downward when you can be competitive where you are. I said it before when it was discussed...to me joining the Patriot League seemed the equivalent of giving up and saying we can't compete in the A10. I don't think this is the case, nor do I like the mentality." on Tuesday, July 15, 09:41:49am

The Patriot League will never invite an A10 team, because they know no A10 team would accept. Lehigh is a fine school, but they have never been a basketball power the way Duquesne once was, and aspires to be once again. (NT) -- duq81, Tuesday, July 15, 10:18:25am
- Well said, duq81. Restructuring is likely to occur sooner or later. We need to be well positioned to avail ourselves of opportunities when they develop. (NT) -- Pep, Tuesday, July 15, 11:39:03am
