If possible, the Big East needs to add:

[shizzle787]

Gonzaga
Kansas
WVU

With the latter two no longer being part of a power conference (and the Big 12 potentially exploding), we should make a move for all three.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The Catholics would rather disband before bringing WVU back. Kansas is a no brainer yes. f Gonzaga

 

[ASweet3781]

lol why Gonzaga and not Baylor who 1. Just beat Gonzaga like a drum 2. Is not located in Washington state.

Baylor has no brand.

 

[phillionaire]

Gonzaga is about a million miles away from half the conference

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Wouldn’t ever happen but I’d love to bring in Kansas, WVU,

Baylor has no brand.

their brand is national champs

 

[shizzle787]

Gonzaga is about a million miles away from half the conference

Ultimately, that will be their problem.

And covering up murder

 

[WestHartHusk]

It’s WVU and Kansas or bust.

 

[TRest]

Kansas would be fine, the Catholics wouldn’t fear them getting back into a football power conference.

 

[alexd]

Maybe they can move the Gonzaga campus to Long Island???

 

[WrenchFan69]

Kansas is the only potential addition imo. You just can't make Gonzaga work geographically. WVU is no go 1) because they will never prioritize basketball over football and 2) they're not a good enough program to give up the double round robin format. Kick out DePaul (which will not happen) and maybe WVU makes more sense (if they went football independent)

And covering up murder

And covering up the football team raping coeds all over campus.

 

[Brochacho]

Kansas is the only school worth giving the Big East H/H up for.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Iv

Kansas is the only school worth giving the Big East H/H up for.

I’ve come around. Screw WVU.

 

[rollskies]

I don’t think it’s worth ruining the double round robin for, but I kind of like Dayton as a possible addition. Basketball has been getting better over recent years and geographically makes sense.

Like I said, probably wouldn’t be worth it to add just Dayton and ruin the HH schedule

Ultimately, that will be their problem.

That’s a solid pitch.

Absolutely not. They are a mid-major school.

fixed it for you

 

[JMick]

Kansas is the only one you pull for. Would be a fun rivalry since we'd probably play them in football every year

 

[shizzle787]

Given that I don't see us joining a power conference anytime soon, my two hopes for this realignment are that Kansas is in the Big East and we play them, Army, Syracuse, and BC every year in football.

 

[Tampahusky]

Kansas yes , no to the others

 

[nomar]

F it, let’s go get the University of Hawaii.

F it, let’s go get the University of Hawaii.

I was very close to going there instead of UConn. Probably would have been a lot more fun

Why?
The choices are playing in a all sports league that likely includes
Kansas
Kansas State
Iowa State
Okla State
Baylor
Houston
TT
TCU
SMU
Cinncy
WVA
BYU
Memphis
one of the Fla schools
Seems like a no brainer
That league most likely ends up with a TV deal in the range of $15-20million .
Or play in a East Coast mostly private school Conference with schools in Kansas’s case you have no history .
Loosing Texas and Okal hurt the football brand hard but that’s still
a top 2-4 Basketball conference.
ESPN is the real winner .
Enhance you flagship conference the SEC
Give a slight Haircut to the B12 schools and rip up the billion dollar AAC contract while still retaining its best content. Almost like ESPN encouraged the SEC to take Texas and Oklahoma .
