I said it when the 16 team league was formed there is no way it's going to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one dominant basketball conference. SEC is way overrated as is the ACC. Forget the Big 12. The one year and on to the NBA rule is destroying college basketball.

A couple of years from now, it'll be the strongest conference again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not good at all when you have 8 traditional powers + some other good teams.I don't doubt the strength of the conference, what I do doubt is Traditional Powers letting themselves stay on the ledge when going 10-6 (as Cuse did) in conference.A school like Cuse depends on basketball to support their athletic department, missing the tournament is probably pissing a few people off...

They had bye on the Big 12 Tournament. Just saying that every year there are good teams that do not make the Tournament, even a "traditional power" like Syracuse.

I think as a conference the Big East will be fine. Syracuse was a shock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
