Big East Conference has 16 basketball teams. It really needs to split into divisional play. Fans are accustomed to watching BE teams beat up on each other - upsets are not uncommon & nationally ranked BE schools often struggle to painful wins over lower tier teams. There are rarely any patsies in the conference. But the regular season title is meaningless except for a BE tournament seeding, & the lack of home & away series diminishes rivalries & is basically unfair.

Quote of the day:
"A majority of the men and women of the Senate and Assembly already agree with his hue and cry for reform and do not deserve to be painted with the same brush of mismanagement, neglect and being concerned only about re-election."
State Senator Sharpe James, in response to NJ Gov. Jon Corzine's Inaugural Address.
Mr. James is also one of America's worst mayors.

Comments:
As if America doesn't have enough religious divisiveness. I'd favor an "All-Catholic Conference" only if the schools guaranteeded they'd recruit & play only Catholic athletes. Then, if they still had winning teams, they could actually take some genuine pride in being Catholic schools rather than relying upon the efforts of mercenaries.
