Message: [QUOTE="McNabb2Brominski, post: 220256, member: 1004"] I dont understand why people are so amped to be leaving the Big East. From a football perspective, yes, obviously the move is a great thing. Football has been lousy ever since Vtech, Miami and BC left a few yrs ago. But from BBall standup, its definitely a downgrade. Aside from UNC and DUKE, there are not other top tier teams in the league. It will be awsome to play them in the dome and compete with them on yearly basis but after them, I am not really excited about playing anyone else in that league. Maryland? Gtech? Wake? Yea, they are some quality, prestigious schools but will it be more exciting than playing Nova? Marquette? St Johns(in the garden)? Not mention Uconn and Gtown, games which I think get offset by playing Duke and UNC. And the ultimate reason I dont want to leave the big east - is the BET. The BET is a fabulous tourney which makes the ACC tourney look like the NBDL playoffs. [/QUOTE]
