ESPN Article on Big East Catholic Schools

[TedBaxter]

I was looking at Kenpom to see what the current rankings are for some of the rumored teams and only one school was outside the current top 100 and that was DePaul at 106. All of the BCS conferences (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, SEC, Pac 12) had teams above the 150 mark.

Yup. This league wouldn't necessarily have the quantity of top teams that the B1G and ACC do, but you could legitimately talk about 5-8 bids. As long as teams did well in the non-con, I could see 8-10 records in this league being good enough to get on the bubble and maybe get in. It would be a tough league, and one that would allow the Big East name to keep some legitimacy.
