Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 659232, member: 636"] I consider myself as a bit of a Big East homer, but the cornerstones for a northeastern league begin and end with PSU and ND. Without either, having all the Pitts, SUs, BCs, Rutgers, Marylands, and UConns in the world isn't going to make for a solid stable league. That's not to say that having one of the cornerstones by itself is enough as the BiG learned with having PSU. But they knew having both ended the discussion. So we are where we are with the BiG having the best of the cornerstones fully on board with two of the above as well as Michigan and Ohio State. The ACC has ND as a partial, with three of the above and Miami, FSU, UNC, UVa, VT, and Duke (in terms of basketball popularity in the northeast). In terms of sheer numbers the ACC has the advantage IF Miami and FSU can return to being what they were in the past. But I never underestimate the BiG. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
