Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4868116, member: 1023"] The NEW BIg East Conference. It was formed in August 2013 when the Catholic 7 elected to split from the football schools and for a new league with 3 mid-majors. It bought the name from the original Big East (aka the Big East or the real Big East). which may have been the best basketball conference ever assembled at the collegiate level. Had 7 National Chsmpionships won by 5 different schools. Had multiple teams in the Final Four 5 times, had at least 1 Final Four team 18 times, and regularly had 6-8 teams in the Top 25. I mean how do you have half the league in the Top 25 when they have to play each other? One year, 1985, 3 of the Final Four were from the Big East. A fourth team lost in overtime in its Elite 8 game.
