Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 282337, member: 19"] FSU was the prize, you had to start there and see what dominoes could come with them. I don't think they had that southern conference affiliation syndrome, as they hadn't even been in a conference all that long. I'd kind of turn that last sentence around. If the Big East were proactive, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that it would have a future (as you mention, hoops onlies were an issue, but depending on flipping FSU, you had a chance at a new all sports league that survives). But to turn the sentence around, it seems more like conference breakup was unavoidable, so why not try to be proactive as a means to save it? I know, I'm back on my hindsight horse. Life is easier that way. [/QUOTE]
