Big East is not good this year granted as of right now still better than The American. I’ve been trying to tell Muskie lovers A-10 + Conference is a coming.

Its inevitable. There's no way a league of small, private schools can have sustained success in this era. With the exception of maybe Georgetown, none of those schools in that league have a strong brand (and Georgetown has regressed each decade since the 80s). Nova has had a nice run the past few years, but they can't do it every year.

Xavier, Marquette, Creighton, Providence, DePaul, St. John's, Butler... just too many schools that nobody gives a crap about outside their cluster of 15-20K fans. Not being on ESPN doesn't help the matter either.
