Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 36184, member: 289"] The Big East should give up the ghost and just go back to being a basketball league. They are likely to lose UCONN, maybe Rutgers, West Virginia, Lousiville and South Florida before this is done and trying to scrape together enough wannabes to continue as a football conference isn't going to be worth it. It was a great basketball league when that's all they were doing. The football conference was created just to keep the football schools in the basketball conference and the basketball conference became so bloated it ceased to be a real conference, just becoming an unwieldy collection of teams. Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Villanova, Notre Dame, DePaul and Marquette would be a good basketball conference and they could pull in other teams to go to 9 or 12 if they wanted to. They'd have to renegoiate the TV contract but with fewer expesnes and mouths to feed. [/QUOTE]
