What are you talking about? I don't remember anyone saying that the "Fighting Sweater Vests" made a bad move and almost everyone has respect for their success in the past 15 or so years. However, they have made disparaging comments about the Valley basically saying that without Creighton (as the Savior), the Valley has turned into dog_ _ _ _ and as a fan base been condescending to all of our teams. Furthermore, they have made comments indicating that the NBE will raise Creighton from a Top 15-40 Team into a Top 10 Team.
The facts are that their recent history has some holes in it. While they had long term success in the Valley, they NEVER (even in their best years) have parlayed it into Top 10 National Success nor achieved even Sweet 16 success in The NCAA Tournament. They will have to prove that they can continue their limited, moderate, but newsworthy national level success in the future in an admittedly stronger league (top to bottom).
