Why did the big east invite Creighton U all the way out in Nebraska?

The same reason the 2005-2013 Big East invited Marquette and DePaul* alongside Cincy and Louisville: good basketball schools in large media markets.

*Yes, DePaul was and still is a good hoops school, one that would demolish a lesser league than the Big East if they played in one. They were stunningly mediocre-to-bad only by comparison.

*No, they are no longer a good hoops school.

They annually lose to schools from the MAC, MVC, WCC, Patriot League and Conference USA.

DePaul doesn't just lose in the Big East, they get absolutely owned. Since the creation of Big East 2.0, DePaul has won 13 conference games in 3 seasons, 6 of which were against St. John's or Seton Hall.

Why didn't the Big East go after a school in say Virginia or North Carolina. It's been argued that religion is not a requirement.
