How much damage did the Big East's refusal to grant full membership do?
I mean in reference to basketball. It was always interesting to me that we weren’t able to join until we were looking at the ACC and made our way to the other hoops conference with a football problem. Obviously, I wasn’t around for it, but I feel like if we were able to be a full member from the beginning, the program would have improved from the 90s and not when we were in the ACC.
