The Big East needs to invite Gonzaga, Stanford, and Cal

Lol, so are you saying that up until this point the logic of that evaded you?

Yeah. Not.

Will Gonzaga still be good in 5 years? I think they are borderline now. Depending on how their season goes from here, they may find it a tough road in a few years. An upset here or there, and they are a 4 seed or lower and could see an early tourney exit. What would they be without all the hype? They don't really have a four-year superstar like Timme anymore. If you ask me it's the easy conference schedule that made the program along with some great coaching and some stellar recruits. What will they be if they are traveling all the time and playing in a tough conference?

Borderline? They were top 10 last week and made the Elite 8 last year

Strategically, the Big East has to envision if the post-Few Gonzaga (he's 60, so one has to imagine in about 5-10 years we'll start hearing about him retiring) and the potential drop-off is worth having to deal with a permanent geographic outlier. If Gonzaga turns into Seton Hall (or god-forbid, Depaul) West, is that lonely western outpost even worth it?

No. No we don’t.
