That's changing already.  Houston got a 3 seed, higher than any Big East team.  We got four teams in.  Two of them won games, and our third best team nearly knocked off the #1 overall seed in a game that opened a lot of people's eyes.  The league is getting much better.  New coach at Tulane is going to bring up the overall NET rating.  It's already a better league than the Big East.  Right now.  And it's better than the Pac12 too.  In two years it will get 5-6 bids.

I really don't understand this focus on the past.  It's not predictive.  The league is too new for it to be predictive.  Meanwhile, the Big East has been coasting on Villanova and a Xavier team that has now lost its coach and will return to mediocrity.  It's toast.  And it's TV deal is less money and less exposure than the one we are complaining about.

The American is full of large urban universities.  It has huge natural advantages when it comes to basketball.  The original Big East had some similar advantages as an almost entirely urban conference.  UConn is the outlier in both cases, but we are sandwiched between large cities.
