I just want this expansion garbage to be over with. Until the football schools split from the basketball schools Syracuse will never be in a stable conference luckily for us though Dr. Gross is proactive and has been working on turning our athletic department into an appealing addition. I do not believe the Big East can survive without a Commissioner who is a football guy first and not part of the Providence College network this conference has always had. How the Big East HQ are in Providence is mind-boggling and just shows where the power is in the conference. The football schools need to be proactive and working on dividing the basketball units the conference has generated in the NCAA Tournament and give the Bball schools the name. If the split would occur  MSG would never pick Providence,Seton Hall,Villanova,DePaul, St.John's, Marquette, Georgetown, Notre Dame over Syracuse, UConn, Louisville, Pitt, West Virginia, Cincinnati, South Florida, Rutgers, TCU  and whomever was added for the basketball conference tournament. Honestly this hodge-podge conference may work in the short-term, but the best remedy if possible is adding  Mizzou, Kansas, Kansas State and the TV contract this conference could generate would surpass or come close to the ACC's 155 million per year.
