Great video and interviews. What a beast of a conference that was. And all those coaches. Most of whom admitted that it didn't matter how good basketball was, that football drove the bus and essentially killed their conference.
Great show.

It was a great run and really changed collegiate sports on television.
Smaller schools that don't play football are never going to be able to work with larger ones that do. It was destined to fail once they brought in Miami, WVU and Va Tech.
They made good points by showing that as an independent Syracuse was able to operate as a football team with basketball being involved with the Big East. That's no longer a viable option so there's really no way for them to co-exist with Georgetown. Great doc last night.
