The Big East was a better football conference than the ACC when...

...we joined. The ACC took 2 of the top ~3 teams and the BE collapsed as a football conference. But the commish was being led by the nose by the small private basketball only schools, who eventually left taking the conference name with them. Still wonder what would have happened if that break had happened earlier, and they had followed JoPa's desire to form an east coast football conference?
