Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 271373, member: 628"] I agree with the bolded wholeheartedly. The Big East had a small window, in the 1998-2001 time frame IMHO, where there was a (slim) opportunity to aggressively court some then-reportedly disaffected ACC members (FSU, GaTech, Clemson) and attractive non-BCS schools (Louisville) and form a 12-team football league that could have forged a good media deal. That was when BE football was relatively strong (VaTech & Miami playing for national titles in back-to-back-years), and hoops was in a downcycle. Alas, neither the league office nor the members ADs had such vision. [/QUOTE]
