Let’s Convince Big East To Be a Hoops Conference

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I do not think it is 100% given that, if the basketball schools broke off that they would all stay together. That is the biggest reason, I would not root for a basketball only conference. There are no guarantees we would end up with who we want. All of a sudden Notre Dame goes one way. Villanova goes somewhere were their football team can develope. ACC decides Georgetown as a basketball only school fits well with Notre Dame and takes them both. Xavier thinks they are better off where they are and Atalntic 10 expands by two taking two former Big East teams that does not include MU. There are alot of things that could go wrong, if basketball schhols decided to go on their own. In the end, just like the football schools, each school is going to do what is best for them and not what is best for Marquette.

This is good point. It really just comes down to staying in the Big East for now, and seeing what happens. I just really hope the bball schools push to add 2, or even better, 3 of Temple, Xavier, Butler, Memphis or Richmond. Football got their upgrade at the expense of the basketball. Now, let's even it back out and add some solid basketball schools.
