Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 4298611, member: 127"] In their defense, it was a basketball conference from its’ creation. What would adding Penn St do for those teams? Remember PSU’s basketball program was horrible back then. Like a Penn St supporter told me - Paterno wanted to lead an Eastern football conference and would have separated from the basketball onlies - he didn’t want a basketball centric conference anymore than they wanted a football one. He was convinced Penn St only entertained joining the Big East to attract other football programs and quickly separate. [/QUOTE]
