Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 5070290, member: 1522"] Neptune sucks but Nova certainly isn't Georgetown bad, Georgetown was 2-18 in the league this past season. I'll take Nova's history over Georgetown's any day. Georgetown was great in the 80's and the best Georgetown team ever lost the national championship to Nova. Georgetown never really sustained their success. I've heard this refrain on this board that the Big East won't be able to get and keep good coaches and the Big East won't be able to compete for a lot of years now and yet the Big East has the best crop of coaches and UConn and Nova have won 6 of the last 13 NCAA tournaments. There's something to be said for a league that knows what it is and that is all about basketball. It's still very appealing to a lot of coaches and players. You ragged on Providence but look at some of the recruits they're bringing in. I want us in the Big 12 but we aren't going anywhere if we remain in the Big East. It will force us to get serious about completely dropping football and cutting some women's sports which would suck. These Big East coaches aren't coaching for free. Dan Hurley turned down Kentucky and the Lakers and he's the second highest paid coach in college basketball, Jay Wright turned down everyone and was the fifth highest paid coach in college basketball.
