i didnt read the article since im not an insider. The headline is Williams leaves marquette and the deteriorating Big east for virginia tech.
wtf? how exactly is the BE deteriorating?

Conference quality is measured by how many times you're on ESPN. Since the Big East earned zero conference games on ESPN, we must suck. Duh.

Lol what? They've made the tourney how many years in a row? and he bails when they miss 1? Sounds like a loser to me...

Hard to maintain when your conference championship it's rated below most ESPNU sun belt conference games.

Exactly -- I think he was referring to the fact that FS1 has more households than ESPN U and yet the Sun Belt games on the U were regularly higher rated than the Big East tourney games.

The pain the pain!!!! Really? We are happy with the AAC name and we do get more exposure then the Big East with ESPN. I cant wait for the next TV contract we will see which conference will make more TV money.

It looks like Chris Mack is going to jump ship at Xavier to head to Wake Forrest...

It would be huge if Marquette can land Shaka Smart. But right now it looks more like the BE is going to suffer from coaching instability.
