Future of the Big East - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**Rip Rap** · 01-09-2005, 08:24 PM

The new Big East is outstanding. I just wonder how long we can hold it together.

I am in the clear minority, but I like the all-Catholic school league should it ever come to that. Obviously the competition would diminish, but just schedule tough non-conference games and be done with it.

beyond boston college, gonzaga, santa clara, and u of san diego, who else would be involved? do jesuit schools count? that league would be stacked in women's soccer.

WHo else? Well i know of many Catholic Schools who could be in Div. IA but need to set up some teams (any teams football, Bball, etc) because they r new schools.

Of course Jesuit schools count unless the Jesuits left the Catholic church

For bball, there's Creighton and St. Joe's that have some national rep.

Well, I was thinking the 8 Catholic schools of the Big East and 2-4 from the Atlantic 10. The only other D1 Catholic schools that are not Big East or Big West (that I know of) are Xavier, Dayton, Duquesne, St. Joe, LaSalle, St. Bonaventure, Crieghton, Loyola, Detroit, St. Louis, Fordham, and Holy Cross. I would take Xavier and St. Louis.

Yes, for the purpose of this exercise, I guess Jesuit schools will count.
