Message: [QUOTE="OCESIP, post: 5042572, member: 8702"] Back in the day, the prevailing thought was football drives revenue and a basketball only conferences could never survive financially. You had to be in a major football conference or else your athletic program would never be viable. Hence the smiles when SU finally found a home, even if they were an afterthought. Give the Big East credit for not only surviving, but being a dominant basketball entity. However, the argument still remains out there. Can the Big East continue to swim upstream financially with all the football money out there? The NIL has somewhat evened the playing field, but NIL is doomed to fail in it's present form and will be replaced with something more viable in the near future. In the meantime, congrats to the Big East and thanks for the memories. [/QUOTE]
