Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 4142372, member: 1620"] I’m 32 and in Connecticut. I don’t miss the Big East because the Big East I grew up with included WVU, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pitt, Notre Dame. For the most part all those games were competitive and fun. I couldn’t give 2 s about St Johns or PC or Seton Hall or DePaul. When I remember big east basketball during my time growing up none of those teams were good for the most part. I understand the history of 3 of those teams and what it means to the History of BE basketball. But it seemed like after 2005 or so these teams have been irrelevant for the most part. I miss UConn and Nova and GTown. But adding Creighton, Xavier or Butler? Meh doesn’t move the needle for me. The Big East is clearly having a better year, but these tend to be cyclical. We still have Duke, UNC, ND, Louisville, UVA and FSU. Those are just way bigger brands than what’s in the Big East. Not to mention on the football side with Clemson [/QUOTE]
