With the addition of The University of Connecticut, the Big East conference now features 7, that's SEVEN, teams utilizing primarily some variation of Blue and White/Grey in their color scheme! UConn, SetonHall, Georgetown, Xavier, Creighton, Villanova, and Butler all don primarily Blue with Grey/White. While Marquette features blue as a primary uniform color, its addition of gold and championship blue sets it apart from the pack. St John's actually also features blue along with its main usage of red and white. DePaul, while known as the BLUE Demons, incorporate enough red to escape the "static seven" as I will call them.
It's summer, and the thread ideas (pun intended) are getting low. While the success of our beloved league looks to be bolstered considerably by the re-addition of the school from Storrs, can the league offer monetary incentives to get one of these 7 humdrum monotones to change their color schemes?
Looks like the Big East needs to do what it takes to land Fordham.

Interestingly (word used cautiously) enough, in our Orlando tournament, all of the teams sans us has a hue of red

It would be worth admitting Fordham simple for the "F U !" chants.

If chants are a factor, I vote for Austin Peay.

When Fly Williams was around in the early 1970s, the chant was, "The Fly's Open. Let's go Peay!

Not unless they agree to color changes! Particularly, UNC.

My dog's favorite university. Every time I say "Let's go pee" she gets very excited.
