Interesting and positive article about the Big East, but don't agree with this part - "Some could reasonably argue there's enough quality in the league that you don't need to go out of conference for tough opponents, although most opt to test themselves in the non-conference portion of the season". A collective quality non-conference schedules are imperative on so many obvious levels.
In any event, the Big East 2.0 has exceeded my expectations - maybe not a sexy as the original version, but far, far from shabby and just about as competitive as any conference in the country.
