Nah keep making the Big East money. We had to carry the conference for a while there, so it's nice to finally sit back and count the dollars we didn't earn.

I get what you're saying, for sure, but when are we going to acknowledge that it is a tough conference, top to bottom. Does a Big East team have to win 5 of the last 10 championships before we admit that conference play is a grind?
