Twelfth Team to the Big East

[Viet Vet]

If you could add one (only one) team, for all sports (except football) to the Big East.....................who? Please keep in mind this will impact ALL sports, men's and women's, not just basketball. So competitiveness, travel, academics, marketability, rivalries, goeography, etc, all have a role in your decision.

I'll withhold my choice until others respond. I promise not to change my choice based on what others say. Gotta trust me.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Notre Dame. It won't happen but that's who I'd add.

 

[JMick]

no one

 

[superjohn]

Gonzaga.

 

[shizzle787]

Gonzaga. Keep the 20-game schedule. Just doing those two things adds a bid a year to the league.

 

[Kembacity]

Canisius

 

[Dooooooomed]

Never gonna poach a team currently in the P5 so the only answer is Gonzaga.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Duke. We could finally roll them on their court

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Notre Dame would be a nice fit

 

[WestHartHusk]

Gonzaga is the only answer.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

UMass. The Big East needs a team in Massachusetts.

 

[CL82]

Rutgers so we can take their slot in the Big Ten.

 

[ucp990411]

UVM so I could drive 20 minutes to watch us rather than 4 hours

 

[navery12]

No

Gonzaga. Basketball conference which should do everything to establish their dominance on the national stage. There's people who get paid enough money to figure out the flight issues.

I just don’t know how they can make that work. That would be absolutely brutal for Gonzaga as far as the constant cross country travel. It’s a shame because It makes sense from the basketball perspective, but the travel I think makes it literally too far out of reach.

 

[alphasigko]

IMO Gonzaga will never happen because of the distance and related logistical difficulties and expense.

 

[PChoops]

Memphis

 

[gampelcrazies]

It’s Gonzaga or notre dame.

I think the Gonzaga thing will happen one day and when it does I hope it isn’t too late.

 

[SouthBayHusky]

I would have to go with Syracuse. As much as we hate nose picker and fans, those conference rivalry games were awesome.

Eastern Washington

 

[Dooooooomed]

What part of the East is Gonzaga in exactly?

Big East(ern Washington). Start getting used to it because Val and Standiford are talking logistics.
