With the way things have gone for the Big East this year I can't help but think about how bad covid19 has been for this league (Please, I know covid19 is much more than a basketball issue. Save yourself the non-basketball comments).

(1) The Big East was freaking loaded last year with 3 top-2 seeds and the best conference RPI/NET and has nothing to show for it, (2) UConn's entry to the league got deflated big time with the lack of fans and covid19 uncertainty, (3) the league has played very few inter-conference games this season and its hurting in the RPI/NET rankings as a result - yes the league is having a down year but its has never been below Top-5 (2019) in its current configuration and has mostly been top 2/3 since 2013 so I can't resist attributing the current top-7 RPI ranking to the lack of games played.

I hope the NCAA fairly takes that into account. This league is deserving of 5 bids. No way the B1G deserves 10+ bids in such a unusual year
