As long as WVU anchors the BE it will be an AQ conference. Just because WVU had 3 down years under Stew, will not affect WVU going forward. It has 3 more years to rebuild its resume from a top 25 team, to a top 10 team.

Quoting:

As far as strength of the football members is concerned, Boise State would seem a must-have for the league. If the Broncos, who are currently No. 5 in the AP poll, became members, it would give the league at least two perennial Top 25 programs. West Virginia has been ranked in the AP Top 25 at some point every season since 2002 and in 20 of the last 24 seasons. Boise State has been ranked every season since 2002, including 48 weeks in the Top 10.

The Big East has a 6-7 record in BCS games. Based on winning percentage that is better than the ACC, Big 10, and the Big 12. Just saying..

Is the Big East in the same league as those conferences? Not really, but the Big East shouldn't be penalized because when other Conferences look for new members they typically come after the Big East.

Lets not forget that the U, VTech, and others came from the Big East. I'd argue that if the ACC hadnt made a habit of dipping into the BE that the BE may be the 3rd best Conference in college football right now. Who's to say that WVU, USF, or another school isnt the next big thing?
