Message: [QUOTE="Orange87, post: 2995964, member: 3333"] I rest very easy thank you, but the Big East was obviously NOT fine without ND and that's why it ultimately fell apart. As Geno said, if ND had come in as a football member no school would have left. A football conference of Notre Dame, Miami, Pittsburgh, Boston College, West Virginia, Syracuse, Va. Tech, etc. would have rivaled any other P5 conference. Again, you can blame Syracuse if it makes you feel better but Boston College (founding BE member), Miami & Va. Tech were long gone before Syracuse and Pittsburgh (BE member since '82) decided to leave. I can also tell you that every single Syracuse student, alumni and fan I've ever spoken to also wishes SU never left the original Big East but unfortunately that's the nature of college sports today. Dont kid yourself either, if UConn had been given the opportunity they would have jumped just as quickly. [/QUOTE]
