Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 16307, member: 874"] Yeah, it's sad, but it seems as if the Big East is a dying entity. It's gotten to the point that the all sports schools and the b-ball only schools can't coexist. I'll miss the basketball rivalries, but I'd be more disappointed if Syracuse missed the boat on being in a strong stable conference with a good TV deal and the money that comes with it. With the facilities arms race that exists now, especially in fb, we'd just fade into obscurity without it. Now we'll have the same fighting chance as everyone else. Other schools have thrown away their tradition, and sadly we have to do some of that to survive. I'll be happy that Pitt will be with us and renewing something with BC will lessen the blow. Maybe we can get an annual OOC with Georgetown to preserve that rivalry, similar to what the women used to do with Tennessee-vs-UConn. [/QUOTE]
