There are too many moving pieces here. Maybe it is time for the Big East to scrap Western expansion all together and simply add three teams from the Eastern and Central time zones - Temple, East Carolina and Memphis - as full members and try to be the best it can be. Temple and Memphis would definitely upgrade basketball. East Carolina has a following in football that would be attractive to bowls if the Pirates have a good season, and they have the potential to be competitive as long as Terry Holland is the AD. They all want in.
