Message: [QUOTE="CallMeBruce, post: 2953087, member: 4984"] The Big East is not an academic consortium. It's an athletic conference. Your disingenuous attempts to paint the Big East as sprawling is absurd when compared to our current league. Yes, we'd still have to play games in Nebraska, Chicago, Indiana, and Wisconsin, but we'd also be adding games in NYC, northern Jersey, Providence, and DC. The travel is better. There are rivalries. The competition is better. It's clearly a better fit. What does football provide us with? Getting our brains beat in at Tulsa and SMU? What value does that have? The only reason to keep losing money with football is if we think we might have a chance at a real conference. We don't. It's never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to happen. [/QUOTE]
