Talk:Big East Conference (1979–2013)

Trophy Pic?
I really need a picture of the Big East football trophy. I couldn't find anything anywhere else. Could someone please put one on this site. I'm not a user but that doesn't matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User: (talk • contribs)

Realignment
Most of the recent edits to the Realignment section posted by 68.107.245.107 are very good, but one is inaccurate and a bit misleading and the other is speculative, so I reversed those two.

68.107.245.107 wrote that NC State Chancellor Fox's unexpected "no" vote against BC was stated as being "in part due to uncertainties surrounding the geographical and cultural "fit" of the northeastern school." and cited with  That citation doesn't back up the assertion of "fit" issues, and a search of press accounts clearly indicates that at no point did Chancellor Fox ever explain her vote. This particular citation is clear that no one at NC State was ever willing to speak for Fox, so the possibility of a leak regarding her intentions seems unlikely.

Where "three football programs" was changed to "two marquee football programs and BC" is editorializing. BC does have a football program and which programs are or are not "marquee" programs is subjective.

I think the realignment section is way too long. The article doesn't need to be a chronological history of all events, but needs to concisely explain the major points

the new big east teams
Dont you think you should go into a little detail about the newcomers? Their accomplishments arent even listed in this article. the newcomers have combined for 19 Final 4 appearences (Louisville 8, Cincinnati 6, Marquette 3, DePaul 2) and 5 national titles (Louisville 2, Cincinnati 2, Marquette 1). These accomplishments deserve mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.88.7 (talk • contribs) 03:59, June 16, 2006 It seems inappropriate to me to imply that the past success of the new schools be counted as success for the Big East Confernece. Cincinnati, Louisville and Marquette all won Basketball national championships before joining the Big East. It seems that their should at least be an asterisk.

Endowment
I added references for Notre Dame and Pitt, but I'm having trouble finding them for the remaining articles outside of the school's own Wiki articles, which in and of itself seems to be a problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.174.67.72 (talk • contribs) 23:16, January 6, 2007

Co-Champs
I added co-champs for the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
