Message: [QUOTE="Huskymagic, post: 4300226, member: 8007"] The Big East conference in the new corrupt NIL era, and mercenary portal is going to be in trouble keeping up nationally with the Power 5 conferences. Jay Wright retiring abruptly does not help the conference. The Big East will be relegated to slightly below PAC-12 level in the near future with these kind of foolish enterprises that the NCAA has endorsed. UCONN can play the pay to play game, and will get stronger in relation to the rest of the conference. However, the conference will have trouble competing on the court soon against the power conferences when it matters. The SEC has received a big boost due to this, and are in position to become the best basketball conference very soon. It's no surprise the best coaches are now located in the SEC, and recruiting in the conference has experienced a big surge in top recruits throughout the SEC. The addition of Texas and Oklahoma will only help in this regard. The Big East needs to think about expanding to add Gonzaga and Memphis. [/QUOTE]
