It could be worse.. i.e New Big East
6 teams make it from supposedly "the best conference in America". 2 can't even win a game (Creighton no surprise), 3 can't make it out of the 2nd round (1 heavily favored, Xavier)
Once again, Villanova carries the weight of that league as everybody else rides the coattails.
Nice effort, New Big East.

The only thing I am jealous of is the man who will create the first time machine. Oh, how I could use a machine like that to go back in time by about 52 hours and try to correct things...

Which is a shame too, since UTEP used to have a great BB history and tradition.

The only good old school big east team is Villanova. Seton hall, DePaul, Marquette, st John's and providence were boo boo for the majority of our time in that conference. Georgetown was good then but times have changed.

Yep. As time goes on the NBE will slowly decline. It's just not attractive in its current incarnation.

I don't see them starting a football team at this point. The time to do that was when they were considering it in the old Big East a number of years ago. While I don't think the NBE will drop down to the level of the MWC, they will be fighting with the Pac-12 for the 6th/7th best conference by the time realignment starts up again in 2024.

No, I mean when/if they announce their intention to move up to FBS.
Sorry, should have qualified that...

For sure. Unlike most people, I think there's more than a slim chance that we will be the ones doing the picking and not the other way around.
