Good thing they continue to give WVU good matchups.

Jointly determined by the conference is funny. The big dogs get their games and then the scraps are matched up together.

Looks like WVU is one of the big dogs.

Matchups are all about TV ratings. Of course it's big dogs then the rest.

I think I can count on my hands the number of Big East games I watched the last 10 years.
I believe they all involved Villanova.

Some people were excited during the Big East tournament when GTown made their run. I didn't feel it.
I think grabbing the money from FOX hurts... UCONN was always a ESPN darling. Not taking anything away from Calhoun but their rise coincided with the rise of ESPN.

Surprised they didn't match up Shaka with Texas. That would have brought drama.
