Message: [QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 4601639, member: 559"] The other side of the equation is how much did Syracuse leaving hurt the Big East? Top three Big "East" teams in the standings this year were from Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ohio. Less than half of the membership was made up of traditional Big East teams befor taking UConn back and UConn is the only program that plays FBS level football. Never understood why the league added additional non-football schools to dilute revenue when the first defections to the ACC occured (Virginia Tech, BC, Miami). IMHO that pretty much killed the viability of the league for Syracuse and Pitt. [/QUOTE]
