Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 34691, member: 405"] The more I read around, I believe that if the Big East were truly forward thinking, Marinatto would simply lead the basketball onlies into an orderly split, let them keep the name and the tournament for as long as the Garden would have them, and then let the football schools work out deals with the consolidating power conferences. This is very nearly what happened in 2003. The truth is that the basketball only schools feel that they ARE the conference. The football playing members have always been the outsiders. It was THEIR idea to put it together, Gavitt and the other Catholic schools in the northeast, with a handful of private schools they chose. [/QUOTE]
