Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 30981, member: 289"] The problems go back to the very beginning when the Big East was organized as a basketball conferecne with football schools in it. The best thing that could have been done in 2003 is for the football schools to break away and move to 12 teams with a title game. They might even have made a counter-raid for ACC teams, some of which were said to be unhappy at the time. The copnstant talk aobut the Big losing it's BCS ranking was what brought this on and aslong as the basketball tail was wagigng the football dog, the conferecne was doomed. The best thing the Big East could do now is proably to return to a basketball only conferecne and let the remaining football schools make the best deals they can. [/QUOTE]
