There is a lot of talk I see around the boards that St Johns might be kicked out of the BIG EAST. I personally don't believe this because we are dominant in mens soccer, volleyball, and baseball but I am in a creative mood today so I am going to post on why we would be kicked out. Besides the obvious of having no football team and a basketball team that is years away from dominance again (remember once we fire Norm we do have to have patience while our new coach sets up his recuriting empire) I would say that the BIG EAST is about dominating the two biggies. I am going to focus on my two obvious as my arguments. First, the moneymaker, the one that brings in alumni from around the country every Saturday in the fall, FOOTBALL, we don't have. NYC people are forced to go to BC to tailgate every Saturday to get a taste of what NYC does not have. We live in a society where every conference must be a football conference. Even the ACC admitted that after years of not being a good football conference and Florida State winning all the titles in football, they switched it up by stealing three good football school from the Big East and now even though they are still not a good football conference, they do make more money and THEY HAVE A CONFERENCE TITLE GAME. Second, we have not had a winning record in the Big East in a while for basketball. We can't even land the best recruits. I believe the conference has too many teams and if the NCAA ever tells us to contract to a certain amount, us, Seton Hall, and/or DePaul are gone. Face it, the naysayers will say they will never ditch the number one media market but the BIG EAST did tell the number 4 media market, TEMPLE, to get lost years ago and now they are in a conference that competes to play in a crap bowl game for its only birth, MOTOR CITY BOWL. The Big East does not care what media market you are in, all they care about is how many teams they can get into the NCAA tournament and how many times you can get yourself into a good bowl game or a BCS National Championship. So I suggest that we start a website collecting donations and having fundraisers to raise money for a big name coach who can sell and teach our wise pupils the X's and O's unlike our current professor of the hardwood or otherwise, instead of WE ARE ST JOHNS, it is WE ARE TEMPLED and we go from a March in the city to a March in Godforsaken county that is the gambling town of South Jersey but if I scared anyone out there, just remember this, send all your fruitbaskets to Dr Dave Masur of the mens soccer team because he keeps our good name in the conference and he produced St John's only national championship in its 150 year history.
