Sometimes in my efforts to be informative, I walk the line between being informative and obnoxious, which I need to improve.   My facts still stand and I have no interest in a pissing match

I'll just address the comment in bold

1)    So the ACC is likely to have more teams in the regional than the BE.  OK, I don't disagree.      How does that validate your comment that the Big East is just a rich man's WCC or that they are a poor conference?

Just because the Big East does not have the power at the top like the ACC does not mean they are crap.

2)   It's fair if you believe that none of the BE schools are in the top 8 in the country -- or maybe even top 15.

But in a year like this, and in years in the past that has hardly mattered - in the last 10 years, current mid majors that did not appear to be top 15 schools in any sense like Wichita St, Butler, George Mason, VCU, Dayton, Marquette, Davidson, Gonzaga and Xavier all reached the regional finals.    5 of the 10 current Big East schools have reached the Regionals in the last 10 years.

They have a fairly decent shot of getting a team in the regionals this year, only because they are fairly good, and this tournament should be wide open.
