Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 4656981, member: 4613"] I love the sentiment, flip the bird and blaze a new trail. I think we did that by choosing to go independent. UConn won a natty partly because it moved to a basketball conference, partly because of Dan Hurley, and partly because it left the gulag known as the AAC. And yes, the landscape has changed. It is the P2 and then a bunch of everything else. My biggest worry is, all it takes is for say Villanova to get a better offer and suddenly the Big East isn't so hot. Without Cuse and Pitt it is just not the basket I want to put all my juevos in. The Big 12 could just as easily add more eastern programs as the Big East could flounder. Seton Hall, SJU, Butler, DePaul, Georgetown all had worse RPI's than the worst Big 12 program, Texas Tech. Heck even UCF was better than those Big East programs. Net SHU, Nova, SJU, Butler, Depaul, Georgetown all 71 and higher (worser) Big 12 Worst: Oklahama at 70 Houston, Cincy, UCF all under 70 BYU surprisingly at 84 [/QUOTE]
