For that matter look at what ESPN did to the Big East. Plucked apart over the course of a number of years. And reality never synched with perception (which was fueled in no small part by ESPN). The Big East more than held its own with the other conferences in the BCS era. But if you listened to the crap you'd hear from the media, you would have thought it was a bunch of Div. II schools. The only thing the Big East ever lacked was a flagship program. Take Texas and the Oklahoma schools out of the Big 12 and you've got the same problem. No matter how well you perform ESPN will spin you into non-existence.
For all the talk about how much the Big East supposedly sucked it is ironic that out of the 9 teams (iam including TCU) that 6 of them ended up in P5 conferences and 2 are still being actively discussed as probably candidates along with USF being mentioned occasionally.
How, if we were all so bad, did we add so much value to all those conferences?
Other than louisville none of those teams finished ranked and as we all suspected, sucked. None of old big East have done worth a crap since not getting play with themselves.
The acc is diluted with bad football teams, astonishingly difficult considering it was bad to begin with and west Virginia in the big not 12 is still absurd.
Rutgers and maryland, in this bizzare universe may have been the smartest plays
The bubble is gonna bust people are dumping cable at a record pace. I'm not paying for the effing big ten network so I can watch Indiana/Purdue women's softball replays 14 times a day.
Trolls will troll, won't they? I will never cease to be amazed at how Memphis fans have started running their mouths about football. Unmatched hubris.
where am I wrong
Rutgers- unranked. the prize pig so far
Louisville finished ranked- killed by UGA
pitt, thanks Houston bwahahahaha
Syracuse, unranked, should just cancel football?
vpi- unranked, lost to a cusa (ECU )but beat old big east team in a bowl (cincy) lol
cincy- unranked, blown out and beat like a drum by us? needed old big east teams to make schedule look better, lost bowl game.
usf- DOA
UConn- DOA
bc- been dead, lost bowl game
Miami- unranked,cant cheat, now dead - lost bowl game
west Virginia-unranked, exposed, lost bowl game.
where am I wrong? who did I forget.
the big east sucked and now is exposed for sucking without having each other to play with.
it is what it is. the big east sucked
oh and far as being a Memphis fan, using your line of reasoning bama fans should all be geniuses.
