Big East adds 5 teams

I don't think this will help them keep their automatic qualifier. I agree with Pitino, they should have just focused on being a great basketball conference and went after Temple and Memphis. I get that football makes a lot more money than basketball, but they just went from a great basketball conference and a crappy football conference to a decent basketball conference and a crappy football conference.

Hearing navy is going now. Which sucks IMO. Though it'd be fun if they eventually made a bcs bowl. Navy seems like they are on the decline since Paul Johnson left. I just don't see advantages for either party of navy joining the big east.

Navy recruits nationally, schedules for recruiting but also success.

Also, isn't part of the reason the were independent is so they could go nationally and recruit for the actual Navy nationally? Or is that what you meant?
