I know I haven't really kept up the last couple of years, but when did those teams get so bad? Villanova is 7-7, Georgetown is 5-10. Watching them, they just look almost a level down from Big 10 play.

That’s because without the football schools, a league with a bunch of small private schools is actually a terrible sports venture. Money starts to dry up, you don’t see them in the media as much because they have less alumni and therefore people who click/read/care about them, and they fade into irrelevancy.

Exactly what many predicted, although took a few years to happen, is coming to fruition.
 
Recently spoke with a former Georgetown player. When Patrick Ewing’s tenure comes to an end, Richard Pitino will be his successor.
 
Both programs will be gone long term.

They have a passionate and wealthy alumni base who is willing to support. Great histories. Men's basketball is king at both schools.
They will find the right coaches and be fine long term.
