I would love to see the major Catholic schools in the eastern half of the country step up and just form their own league:
St. John's, Georgetown, Providence, Xavier, Notre Dame (minus football), St. Joseph, Villanova, Seton Hall, Marquette
I am sure therey could get a couple of other local teams interested.. maybe St. Bonaventure...
It wouldn't be the massive money maker that BCS schools are but it would be an outstanding hoops league and be solid in other sports. The league would get a TV deal and no doubt an automatic NCAA berth.
that actually sounds like a great old school bball conference. i'd really enjoy that.
a 12 team conference of:
St. John's
Georgetown
Villanova
Marquette
Seton Hall
DePaul
Notre Dame
Providence
St. Joesph's
Xavier
St. Louis
Siena
would be extremely enjoyable. obv stj wouldn't do it or any of the other BE schools, but i'd enjoy it from a bball fan perspective.
