We are looking at you Connecticut. Obviously, we have no idea if that would happen but if it is possible the Big East needs to jump all over it. A number of Big East teams have fallen on hard times since leaving the conference. Schools like UCONN, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, USF and even Syracuse have taken big steps back since leaving the Big East. If the Big East had some of those teams or other notable programs come into the fold, it can only help the conference. Of course, football will come into play and it wouldn’t be surprising if the Big East would want to think twice before going down that road again. However, if a school that relies heavily on basketball were to come to the table and happened to have a football team as well it would be hard for the Big East not to entertain adding them. Certainly, seeing old teams come back to the new Big East would validate what the conference has done in recent seasons and show the relevance of an all-basketball school league in college athletics. This will take time and needs to be done right but for this conference to reach the top and last long-term, expansion in some form must happen. [/QUOTE]
