The Big East

The Big East Conference has had many teams and legends come and go. The Big East has been known for their outstanding basketball teams, coaches and players throughout the years. Now that the Big East is turning into a Catholic Conference most of the teams will be forced to leave the Conference. There are many historic places that teams have played in and for some of the players that would have been 1 time for some players. Out of the 7 teams how started this great conference 4 will be staying in it for the Catholic Conference, but should this new conference  be called the big east.

There have been many teams to come and go but there were 7 how started it in 1979 with Boston College, Connecticut, Georgetown, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall, and Syracuse. All these teams stuck with the conferences, but Boston College. Out of the 7 who started it 4 will stay. This conference has been so good through the years that there has been so many teams try to get in it, but some of the teams didn’t want them to be in it.

Now that the new conference keeps adding and adding more teams it isn’t even the big east anymore. They shouldn't be able to even kept the name because of how much it is changing. For example they have two teams from the Atlantic 10 Butler and Xavier. These teams are Catholic, but neither of the teams have ever been in the big east. Which is unfair to the teams that have been in it for many years and now they are just getting kicked out of it. Also they are getting put in the Atlantic 10 which could be a good or bad thing, but they aren't in the conference they want to be in.

I think now that there is no real big east basketball will be different because the big east was a big basketball conference with all the good teams in it. Now it will be mostly basketball in the conference, but it will never be the same as the first big east.
