Tulsa is probably the closest thing to a BE school in Oklahoma. But they are much more popular than BE schools due to playing FBS football.


The reason nobody is talking about the Big East is most people have no idea who is in the Big East anymore and beyond that they have no idea where any of those schools are even located.

Where is Marquette? Xavier? St Johns? Villanova? Hell if I know.

People in the Pacific and Mountain time zone have no idea about those schools. Neither do folks in the Southeast.

I have no doubt that it's a great BB conference but it's become a little religions basketball conference instead of a legit p-5 with members like Miami, V-TEch, and WVU. What's left is just not the same.

Ad Hominem aside, I don't buy what you are saying. I grew up in Northern California and knew about those schools and where they were located. Hell I ended up going to school at DePaul (which is in Chicago btw) and worked at Georgetown for awhile. What is fact is that if you ask any college fan what town any those P5 schools are located and I'm sure they have no clue since many of them are not located in major metro areas. Seriously though, what town in Oklahoma is OU in? Also, congrats to you on getting that professional team in your state, sorry to hear about Durant though but at least you guys still have Westbrook. Which NFL team do you root for? Houston? Dallas? St. Louis? oh wait they are in L.A. now.

You are obviously biased due to attending a BE school. But the same is not true for most people who never even consider attending a BE school.

This has nothing to do with Oklahoma so stop trying to change the subject. It's the most predictable response on this board and reeks of insecurity and butthurt. I see you must have a bad case of the butthurt as you went back to add an additional insult about OU. That's hilarious. Thanks for the entertainment.

I'm not insulting the BE. I'm giving you a realistic POV from a fan of college sports.

My guess is more people could tell you who was coach at Western Michigan last year before they could name any coach in the Big East.

LOL...ok

Also, please tell me you actually attended OU and not just a fan of OU because you happen to live in that state.

LOL. What coach in the BE would you say is as well known as PJ Fleck?

I suspect he makes more $ than any of the BB coaches in the BE.

You guys who follow BB forget that most people care about college BB for about 2 weeks in March. Beyond that few people actually follow on a weekly basis like they do during football season.

You are really trying to turn this personal. Stop being so insecure and going for personal insults. This is about The Big East. All you are doing is getting upset and resorting to personal insults becasue you have no leg to stand on when it comes to how the BE is popular on a national level.

Any mention of Oklahoma is just your butthurt showing. Hide it better.

Thanks for the entertainment. The reason you are getting mad is becasue what I say is true and that bothers you. Funny how that works.

Wow. I see the insecurity is flowing. Any talk of the Big East has gone and now we are going to go to personal insults becasue quite frankly the OU fan made the best points.

This is like elementary school behavior.

I say somethign that is true about the BE
You BE fans get upset
Then you change the subject to personal insults because you have no leg to stand on.
And finally start sending mods complaints and whining about being treated unfairly.

I won't stoop to your level of insults. I've given you the reason nobody cares about BE basketball anymore and apparently you can't handle that reality.

What I find funny is that you are arguing that because we follow basketball we know these things but not football. You know it because you follow football and assume that any casual football or in this case sports fan knows who PJ Fleck is. Sorry to burst your bubble but majority of casual football fans dont know who PJ Fleck is. I follow football and have no Idea who PJ Fleck is. You see the fallacy in your logic? Also, back to your original statement. Do you think any casual fan knows what town these large state schools are in? Where is University of Alabama? Texas? Illinois? Oklahoma?

You are certainly welcome to your own opinion. Which I am fine with.

I think the part you are struggling with is me having my own opinion. Ironic, don't you think.

Yes I think more people could tell you a town, player, or coach of Alabama than the entire BE combined. Same for OU and Texas. Actually interesting and quite telling that you dont' see what is obvious to most.

I get it that you are upset how far the BE has fallen since realignment but you need not focus your anger toward me.

PJ Fleck is more popular than any coach currently in the BE and likely makes more $, in most cases many times more what those coaches are paid. There is a reason for that. And yes many football fans know who he is as he was a popular name this season and many wanted him to be their next coach.

What? Was this sarcasm? BE has fallen since realignment? you know what...I'm just going to assume you just live in Oklahoma and never attended the school.

This was the only meme I could think of.

YOu really need to focus on the Big East and not me personally. I've obviously gotten to you and now you just can't help yourself. Get control. Take a deep breath. It's ok if everyone does not agree with you that the BE is a national brand. People having different opinions is OK. Deep breath.

We all get it that since you went to a BE school you think the world revolves around them but to the rest of us they are just little bible schools that none of us know much about or would ever consider attending. Just relax.

Deep Breath.

It's going to be OK.

No. That's the reality of the situation for the BE. They were once a power conference with schools such as Notre Dame, Miami, V-TEch, WVU, Louisville, etc..

You just can't seem to help yourself. Every comment turns into an insult about Oklahoma becasue you are so upset. Deep breath. Just calm down. LOL

Do you realize how predictable it is to respond to truthful statements with an insult about the posters school. So lame and so insecure. You need thicker skin and the ability to hide your butthurt better son.

Lets focus on the Big East. What would you say you think the top 4 national brands in the Big East are?

Probably best for you to step away from teh keyboard at this point as all you are doing is embarrassing yourself. You are not even focusing any of your discussion on the Big East and its' popularity. You are so upset you can't even focus on the topic and only want to make personal insults and talk about Oklahoma. So predictable, yet so entertaining.

The reason it bothers you is becasue what I said is true and you know it. Otherwise there would be no reason for you to be all lathered up and this upset over the popularity of a regional basketball conference of religious schools.

I'd also venture to guess that being on FS1 has hurt the BE popularity as well.
