I really can't see teams like BYU,Boise State,Army,or Air Force come to the Big East knowing full well that Louisville,UConn,Rutgers,and UC would jump ship in a heartbeat if offered.
Also seems to me that Pitino must have something over on Tom Jurich who is like Nero playing the violin while Rome burns.
