The basketball schools "fast break" is something I have wanted since the dissolution of the conference started. I like the idea that the 7 Catholic schools can form their own league on this break out and still have the automatic bid and possibly retain the name. I would like to cap the league at 10 so we could have a true home and home conference season something none of th FB conferences will ever be able to do again. In today's NY Times there is an interesting article on the place of college BB to college FB and how FB is the dag that wags the tail and the only thing that counts in college basketball is March Madness. Well maybe a BB conference could have a recruiting edge in that the BB players are the top dogs, not secondary to FB players.
At last the Basketball schools have taken the initiative and shown that they have basketBALLS!!!!
