What is Critical to the Big East's Success

[Water Pony]

Orlando Sentinel writer suggests USF and UCF are critical. We could easily add Texas with SMU and Houston, not to mention retaining Cincinnati and UConn long term (each are contractually obligated until 2015). And building on the strong BB programs of UConn, Cincinnati, Temple, Memphis and USF.

I enjoyed this clever quote: ... The Knights have become like Col. Nathan R. Jessep in the classic Jack Nicholson movie "A Few Good Men."

"Have you ever played a November game in Huntington, son? Have you ever flown commercial to El Paso? Have you ever had to offer buy-one, get-one-free discounts for football tickets? … You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about in your booster luxury suites, you want me in this league! You need me in this league!

Now that we are staying in the Eastern half of country-the Big East name isn't such a misnomer causing laughter-I say we definitely keep it now. Before I was fine with rebranding

Stallion, what do you think are the odds we will still be in the nBE as we know it today, 2 years from now? I put it at below 20%.
