Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 1008890, member: 1312"] Honestly, the Big East Tournament (not the current version) was one of the bucket list sporting events. Nothing beat the buzz of the Friday night semis (Saturday night semis in the old days). I still remember the Amtrak Big East Tournament ticket special for the fans as in the early days, every BE school was on a train line. Meeting old friends and making new ones. This is what was lost with conference realignment. Barclay's Center and a rotational tournament will not be the same as MSG and the BET, but it is a good compromise. Let's face it, Greensboro is centrally located for the schools, has a history with the ACC, and probably makes the most sense to hold it there most often. I really don't see either the Big 10 or ACC moving their conference tournament to NYC on a permanent basis in the future. After the Big East MSG deal runs out, I can see both the ACC and Big 10 Tournaments rotating through MSG. [/QUOTE]
