Just A Thought

Should a group of the traditional basketball rich Catholic universities located in the Midwest consider forming a new basketball only conference?

Possible members:

Loyola Chicago
DePaul
Marquette
St. Louis
Creighton
Detroit
Dayton
Xavier

(Unlikely that Notre Dame would depart the ACC to join the above.)

Thoughts?
