Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 222260, member: 173"] Reality is that success is defined 110% by how you do in the NCAA tournament now. I don't agree with, but it's reality. People that still follow the Big East tournament like it matters beyond March 11, 2012 are living in the past. And are in an increasingly smaller and smaller minority. I fondly remember the 2005 Big East tourney...but 99.8% of all Syracuse fans would describe that year as a failure. It would be great if it wasn't that case, but Bilas has made the same point - the college basketball season is one month long, with the longest exhibition season in sports. I believe it's part of why some people in college athletics like the BCS so much - they're terrified of turning college football into college basketball, with th regular season just killing time until the real season starts.
