NCAA Basketball 2010-2011 Season Discussion Thread

I think that VCU is a quality programme stuck in a BAD Div 1 conference.

A conference with ODU, George Mason, and VCU sure looks decent to me.

I'm all for loyalty and it absolutely is his choice to make. I just don't think there is anyway possible for Smart to turn VCU into a national power in basketball.

Right ... which only matters if that's what he wants to do. I don't think anybody would harbor the thought that VCU could turn into a national power, nor is that the primary goal of every coach.

I'm not surprised that Smart decided to stay. He doesn't seem the type to cut and run. However, the length of the deal was slightly surprising. An eight-year commitment is a long time.

I could easily see them slide into the Big 10 or the Big East (of the Missippi) Conference.

TCU's not east of the Mississippi
