That the Big East basketball only schools may have destroyed the money-grubbing whores of college football's Big East Conference.

Good for the basketball schools.

So none of the BE basketball-only schools are money grubbing whores? The way I see it, the Basketball whores screwed the football whores while they were in a position to do so.

Not really. THey want stability while the money grubbing football whores are running around, lifting their skirt for any conference that will pay them more money.

The basketball schools don't have to worry about that. It's called the NCAA tournament.

....and money doesn't factor into getting to the tournament?

The basketball schools understood what the football schools failed to understand. The league's financial base was basketball. They made more in NCAA units than bowl money despite being an AQ. Their TV deal assigned 2/3rds of their TV value to basketball. The league tournament in NYC is a huge highly profitable event matched in the hoops world only by the ACC Tournament and exceeded only by the NCAA Tournament. Expanding to drive football in an environment where football no longer had a guaranteed seat at the table was foolishness. Assigning 70% of TV revenue to football basically meant the 7 were subsidizing a football league that had no higher status as far as access than the MAC and Sun Belt. When the Big East had special status in football that had cachet that rubbed off on the hoop schools and it mattered, it no longer does.
