I do think the tournament is cool. But can we do leaders versus legends or something?
Temple and Villanova not playing each other regularly is a broken tradition. It’s possible you don’t play them for years.
The idea that you fix the Big 5 by redoing it is weird. It was down because Nova was dominate, the other coaches at the time couldn’t carry their weight. Now you have new coaches at TU, Nova, and Joes… and you have parity and things looking up across the board. (I was actually really impressed by the Joes, and I can see how Billy Lange could be a real smooth recruiter).
So the point is, it would have been more competitive Big 5 this year regardless of the tournament.
I’m good with the tournament if we can figure out how to play Nova regularly. You don’t want the traditions to die.
And Nova was typically a ranked team on the schedule. So you could count on that one for SOS. Bigger question for TU going forward ….. how the heck are we gonna schedule a tough OOC. We will need it in this AAC to beat named teams early on.
