Message: [QUOTE="cuse522, post: 2109860, member: 1149"] The way the old Big East is faring has nothing to do with MSG and everything to do with bringing in schools with goals that didn't line up with the conference, cutting deals for football-onlies, etc. The basketball conference was still doing great when it broke apart. I mean, the Big 10 is playing it's conference tournament a week early just to play at MSG... and it doesn't have nearly as much of a Northeast footprint as the ACC does now. That's gotta say something. Last but not least, one of the big reasons 'Cuse folks and JB were a little grumpy about going to the ACC was the loss of the Big East tournament at MSG. Almost everyone preaching about how the ACC should be there is doing so because that was arguably our favorite sporting event of the year, and the best one to attend in person. I know I was happy about pretty much everything else about the ACC, with the exception of losing a couple rivalries, which is what it is. [/QUOTE]
