Unable? No, but it will put a major dent in it.

Illinois will have a decided leg up, IMO. They can point to being in the true regional power conference w/ games every weekend against Michigan, OSU, Nebraska and other traditional powers.

We'll get to trump up the opportunity to **** with Boston College on occasion.

People in St. Louis don't care about beating the Big East. Pinkel will have a harder sell and with as close as the margins are on winning/losing a recruit, I gotta believe we'll lose some guys that we'd have been able to keep had this not happened (and lose even more guys that we'd have been able to steal had we gone to the Big 10).

It's not ideal by any means.
