In Dallas.  (heh)

Doesn't look like the basketball schools are there.  They are looking at potential expansion candidates like Tulsa and UMass.

Tulsa ------ouch!!!
Wouldn't Buffalo or some other Northeast school in a large urban area be better or is this a "western partner" for San Diego State whom the FB Big East may be trying to keep.  Regardless, none of the mentioned names I'd want Marquette to be playing so "Hello" Basketball-7.

You can't say "Catholic 7" because when you Google you get "Catholic 7 Sacraments" as a choice.

Yeah, Dallas....I don't think this league will want to keep the BE name...

So each school should take up a sacrament?  This could be fun.

I suggest:

DePaul: anointing of the sick  -self-explanatory given their program's state
Georgetown: baptism -they're the "first"
Marquette: communion -so we can be the "most blessed"
Providence: orders -Friars seem to be the closest thing to take this one
Seton Hall: penance -since Pirates do bad things
St. John's: confirmation -kind of a leftover, but it works for them
Villanova: matrimony -they probably have the hottest girls so they get this one

Aren't the Cowboys in the NFC East?

Too bad West Virginia, Syracuse and Cincinnati aren't around to share in the penance.

So, who is going to assign the Seven Deadly Sins to the BEast leftovers?

I think they could all qualify for multiple. Hahaha. Lust, greed, and gluttony.
