re: 7 Big East basketball schools leaving

The 7 catholic schools should form their own league now, since they can still get an auto bid, and slowly start inviting other catholic schools in their area to join until they get to the number they want. I had listed off schools the other day, but if you take all the Catholic schools from the A10 and Big East, and add Creighton, you can have one helluva 16 team basketball league.

So, in essence, those 7 teams have the ability to make a new league that could go to 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16. However many they feel is appropriate, and be a great basketball league.
