Who should join the Big East

I have to say that I have heard some crazy things that fans have been saying to save the Big East Conference or add to it...

They want to just throw out the schools like Marquette, Seton Hall, St. Johns, Providence, and DePaul. Not really going to just happen. Especially not Providence or St. John's which have too much history in the league.

The league headquarters are in Providence and St. John's Basketball has so much tradition in the league, although not lately. Games are played at Madison Square Garden in part because of St. John's.

Then I hear how Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State and Memphis make sense for the Big East...We could have East and WEST divisions of the BIG EAST.

I guess in theory it could work, but really how do people in Lawrence, Kansas write BIG EAST on their floor or field. Kansas was part of Manifest Destiny and "GO WEST MY FRIEND"

Suddenly in 2010's Kansas is East again? Now UConn Golf is going to have to travel to Kansas for the Big East golf tournament?

I always thought conferences had something to do with what region you were in.

At the rate it is going I think we will see Pacific University join the Atlantic Coast Conference in College Sports. Northeastern will probably join the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

I think the Big East has proved that it is already strange enough to have schools in it's conference be in Wisconsin and Illinois.

How many times has someone from a Big East school said they were taking a road trip to Marquette and DePaul and have people go "Where are those schools?"

"Wisconsin and Illinois"

"and they are in the Big East?..."

And if the Big 10 (which has 11 teams) adds Nebraska (of the Big 12) then the Big 10 will now have 12 teams. Then the Big 12 will lose another school (Colorado) to the Pac 10 so that the Pac 10 will have 11 teams and the Big 12 will have 10 teams. The Pac-10 looks like it could have 16 teams including teams in Texas and Oklahoma. (because nothing says the Pacific Ocean like the oil fields of Texas) The Big East could also have a WEST conference.

Are you confused? Again I want to say this...The Big 12 as of now has 10 teams. The Big 10 now has 12 teams. The Pac-10 has 11 teams. The Big East could have a West division

Strangely their are two conferences that actually make sense, the ACC and SEC. One of those two conferences would include Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, widely regarded in education circles as Stupid, Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest.

When they look smart was does that tell you?

College sports conference names are going to be as confusing as:
Rome, New York
Maine, New York
The University of Miami (Ohio)
Moscow, Maine
Norway, Maine

"Your going to Rome? That's awesome!! Your going to be so tan!"

"No It's probably going to snow"
