And Greg Schiano has built it cleanly and to last. Way to go Greg! We're trying our very hardest to help this conference and I think we're succeeding somewhat.

You're doing more then helping it somewhat. Rutgers was viewed as a perennial loser. Now they're the talk around the country being bowl eligible and a Top 30 and 35 program, hopefully soon a Top 25 team. Rutgers is a name. Yeah it was a negative name, but it's one of those names that if something positive happens it become major gossip. BIG boost to the conference. BIG boost!

We need a strong Rutgers program in the Big East and you are having a very good year-(a bad half quarter at Illinois is keeping you from having a great year).

Now if we can get Syracuse back on track I would really love the potential of this league. Pitt will be back, WVU never went anywhere and USF and UC are in strong recruiting areas.

It's a crock that Auburn is ahead of WVU, and BC is still in the top 20. I don't have much of a problem with the rest of it.

Like I said in a previous post...there is a bias against the Big East and if we don't enjoy some of the opposite effects of that bias during basketball, then something is wrong. We should be able to beat the crap out of each other all winter and still maintain our top 25 rankings.
