Comment on UC San Diego putting Division I to a vote by fansmanship

jdgaucho I understand. I guess it depends on where those two games come from right? Cal Poly played both CSU Monterey Bay and Univ. of Antelope Valley this year… I would rather play home/home with even a transitioning D1 team. BUT, if they’re playing UCSD instead of UCLA or UNLV or whatever then yeah, I’d say it’s a potential issue. It’s a short term one though IMO. Happy Friday!

Don’t get me wrong. I will gladly welcome UC San Diego with open arms if they pass their vote. They absolutely belong in the Big West. Plus their athletic department WANTS to be with us. I’m just concerned about them dragging us (the conference) down in the short-term as we are knocking on the door of producing an at-large bid.
Currently there are 16 conference games. If you only bring in a 10th member that number increases to 18 games. As someone who follows Cal Poly you should know full well that playing UC Riverside, CSUN, UC Davis and Cal State Fullerton twice each does not exactly help the cause. Now throw UCSD into the picture and that’s over half the conference slate dragging you down. Oh, and let’s not forget reinforcing the bus league image which we suffer greatly from.
Hence the desire for 12 members, which includes at least one more non-CA school with decent hoops tradition (New Mexico State?), to offset UCSD’s adjustment to D1. They may not like that but it’s really the best outcome for us.

jdgaucho Sorry I hadn’t read this yet, but thanks for reading and for your comment. Interesting ideas. I’m not sure that UCSD would be an automatic sub-200 team in the long-term. I’m sure the other 5 fanbases would contend that they also won’t be sub-200 teams in the long term.
Each year is different. I’m sure an evened-out travel schedule would be way better in some ways when it comes to most sports. It may not be great for hoops right away conference-wide, but I think over time it could be a benefit. At least for Cal Poly, I’d rather have them play a transitioning UCSD than like Bethesda or CSU Monterey Bay or Hope International….
Hope you listen to the podcast I did with Ken Grosse at UCSD and thanks again for reading.

The Big West had four RPI top-100 teams in basketball this past season. It also had five sub-200 teams. The last thing we need is another sub-200 program who will increase the number of conference games played for all sports. If UC San Diego joins by themselves that is exactly what will happen and we move further away from producing an at-large bid in basketball. Nobody wants that.

The best outcome for everyone would be expansion to 12 with UCSD joining as a package deal with New Mexico State and a Grand Canyon or someone of that ilk. We need ore representation outside of California.
