A complete 180 from the days Cuse, Pitt, etc. left the conference and everyone thought we'd become a mid major huh? Now we are on the verge of doubling our money with Fox Sports Network, gaining stability for the future, maintaining rivalries, and landing in a basketball only conference as one of the leaders. And now this! Very exciting times.
I'm also into our soccer, lacrosse, women's Bball and a few other sports - so it's not really "Basketball only"
Besides some animosity for the Pittsburgs, Syracuses etc I am particularly pleased that Notre Dame is gone. They took advantage (or rather the Big East let them) of the benefits of all sports while allowing them to keep their own independent football pie. Don't understand why the ACC is also catering to them.
In the long run I think this conference will be terrific - and I hope we keep the name Big East.
all the best
