It's not. It just isn't. Even if it was a lateral move (which it isn't) it's still an upgrade because of the historical/geographic connections and the tournament. People just don't like the idea of a school where football isn't the driving force.

It is a big downgrade. The Big East is Villanova and 9 Atlantic 10 level basketball schools at this point. Cincinnati, Houston, Temple, and Memphis will be a better group than anything Big East has going forward and Wichita State, UCF, and SMU have shown to be better than the middle of Big East.

All those teams UCONN remembers playing are gone beside Nova and Georgetown.

Every single Big East team made a post season tournament this year. All but DePaul made the NCAA or NIT
