One and done? They never get here...

This could have been the starting line-up in basketball:

C Kendrick Perkins
PF Amare Stoudmire
SF Qyntell Woods
SG DaJuan Wagner
PG Antoinio Burks

Would have been unreal....

Make that 5-0 adding the sorry Frogs. Cinn beat West Virginia and Louisville beat Syracuse. Big East fans are talking down to C-USA?

Your kidding me right? They added South Florida basketball over Memphis basketball? Tell me that adds up...

The descion to add stems really from two reasons: football and market size. Louisville and Cincy have respectable football teams and South Florida gives the Big East a chance to gain back some of the Florida market. The Louisville and Cincy basketball programs are just a plus.

The Big East would have taken Yale basketball before offering Calipari an invite. He is not well liked in the BE, to put it lightly.

There is still 3 or 4 programs I would have taken over South Florida if it was strictly a basketball choice.

This basketball season should be interesting with the four teams leaving soon. I think that Memphis had motivation to beat Louisville. I wonder if the basketball teams will do the same.

I think so, just to prove a point. We proabbly will not compete this year, we do not have any big men at all. We may have a freshman ste-up but I doubt it. Next year should be the year will do some damage in basketball.

I think C-USA basketball as it is will be affective two more years.
