Creighton/Gonzaga Home and Home - BE Trial?

[brewcity77]

I do not want to see multiple WCC teams on Marquette's schedule every year.  It's a one or two bid conference.  Marquette and other BE teams aren't giving up home games for the WCC.

I think a 6 team challenge would be fine, provided Gonzaga, BYU, and St Mary's are in every year. You might end up with the occasional road game at a 200ish team, but rarely and probably at most one per year for the entire league.

A Big East - American challenge would be cool. Would be good for both conferences. Can we just ask them to leave out East Carolina and Tulane?

A lot of Pitt's downfall is also from a terrible coaching hire.

Wojo to Pitt?

Personally, I think #1 is key and would make both DU and GU a no-brainer if DU made a serious commitment to basketball.  Regardless, #6 has to be part of the long term plan.  In other words, the Big East does not add Gonzaga as a one-off expansion... Gonzaga is added with the intent of a full-blown expansion of the Big East into the Western U.S. (in which case, WTF do you name the conference?).

The Big 14?
