Yes, this would be a good thing for the Big East because ECU is a fairly good team, with a good, young up and coming coach in Skip Holtz. The rumor I've heard is that the Big Ten now has pretty much narrowed the teams they want to join the Big Ten for the 12th member down to 4. Those teams are Syracuse, Missouri, Iowa St and Notre Dame. If the Big East losses Syracuse that's really bad for the conference because of the basketball thing along with Syracuse being located near one of the largest cities in the world. If the Big East wants to become a bigger conference they need to seriously expand their stadiums, I heard that Rutgers was expanding their stadium to 55,000 seats, which is a good start, but they need to make it bigger.
Here's what the Big East needs to do:
1. Get more teams into conference, while trying to even it out with the amount of basketball teams, maybe let a few of the only basketball teams out of the conference.
2. Expand Stadiums, this may not sound like a big deal, but teams need to have fairly large stadiums because it generates more money and gives more a homefield advantage.
3. Don't let any of the conference members leave. That means that the conference can't let any of the schools to leave the Big East for a difference conference. Like Syracuse to the Big Ten, Big East fans may think that it's not that big of a deal, but with Syracuse being good at basketball, and other sports, along with being near NYC it's huge if they left.
