How many destination jobs do you think other leagues have?  And is it even possible for a league to have more than a couple of them before they start to take away from one another?  Ask Villanova.

There are plenty of programs in all parts of the country that can build a powerhouse in the right circumstance with the right people and right resources in place.  The Big East does not need Xavier, Marquette, Creighton, and Butler to be destination jobs in order to provide value.  The league is designed for Villanova, UConn, St. John's, and Georgetown to win big.  They may not all win big at once, but that's OK.  N.C. State, UNC, Duke, and Wake don't all win big at once and neither do the Texas schools.  It's not a coincidence that the most consistently successful programs of the last decade - Houston, Gonzaga, Kansas, Villanova, and then UConn - attained that success as the undisputed alphas of their leagues.  Super leagues like the SEC, ACC, and Big 10, meanwhile, found that while they may get more teams to the tournament, only so many of them can be legitimately dominant (sorry Cuse, BC, Pitt).
