In what way are you different/better than the MWC?
Academics, financial resources, market size, attendance ... and I'd bet my pension that our computer rankings in FB will (on average) be superior in most years. The Big East used to blow away the MWC in the computer rankings every year. Losing Syracuse & Pitt and picking up UCF, ECU, and Memphis won't hurt us.
We can also talk about BB. We have UConn, Cincinnati, Temple, Memphis, and a pretty good SMU program. The MWC isn't even on the same planet with us in BB.
I don't see a whole lot of difference in the two...
