MSG is indeed taking a flyer on the Big East because they wanted a long term annual commitment that the ACC was unwilling to give them at that time - and may never be willing to give them.

And the new league certainly has some great programs that will attract attention over the next five years. It will be interesting to see where the new league stands from 2018-19 onward.

Still, the new Big East is 5 schools in the northeast and 5 in the midwest. The likely 2 expansion targets are both in the midwest - Dayton and St. Louis.

Meanwhile the ACC is divided between the Northeast and the South Atlantic. The solution could be an every other year tournament for both conferences - MSG/Greensboro for the ACC and MSG/Milwaukee for the BE.

Not sure how TV would handle this since one is ESPN and the other FOX, but both have worked together in the past.

The Big East will never willing move it's tournament to Milwaukee or any other city. The Big East will never willing help the ACC. Fox will never give ESPN MSG just to "work together". Also, Fox doesn't really have a say in the matter, and it's BBall property backing down to the ACC makes it seem more mid-major.

Okay. Just remember, I tried having a logical discussion with you, but you turned it into a p!$$!ng contest.

Best of luck. Time will tell.

Yeah, 13 years of a contract. Geez, get a grip. The Big East isn't moving over just so Cuse can play in the Garden. Oh and Duke is not the favorite college team. Just like FB it varies because of the diversity of it's inhabitants.

Also keeping up the silly rumors that the ACC is just waiting for it's own contract to be up before they move to MSG is not a logical discussion. The Big East has a 13 year contract that MSG can only get out of penalty free if the conference loses members.
