Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
(Tongue in cheek. ... kinda'). ... If the Big East wants to make a bold move, why not boot DePaul and replace 'em with St. Thomas? One is quickly ascending the Division 1 ladder, while the other's last NCAA Tournament appearance was 2004 and really hasn't been relevant since the early 1990s. DePaul would find a soft landing spot somewhere else.
