Message: [QUOTE="therapist, post: 5707605, member: 10959"] But it did work in the past. The Big East was awesome back when it was all together. Neither conference is as good now as the old Big East was in my opinion. Things got weird because the Big East began as a non-football conference and football was added later. The basketball schools resented that football schools wanted to expand the conference and the basketball schools didn’t. The conference was equally divided so non-football schools had equal say. It would have to be more football members than non-football members or the same tensions could arise again. Notre Dame is a non-football member now and it hasn’t created a problem. A conference with a few non-football programs could still work as long as they were in the minority. The old Big East was the greatest college basketball conference ever - at least in my opinion.
