16 players, yes only 16 players were drafted from the Big East. Including a whopping 2 players (Okoye and Revis) in the first round.

More players (17) were drafted out of the WAC. Yes, thats right more players were drafted out of the WAC than the Big East.

But the Big East wants to be considered one of the big boys? :sidelol:

Compare the Big East's athletes with that of the SEC, who had an unbelievable 11 players drafted in the firat round and 41 players overall.

The SEC had more players drafted in the first 2 rounds (17) than the Big East had the entire two days.
 
it doesn't matter how many kids get drafted.

In the NBA we have kids from friggin Europe getting drafted over college kids. Does that mean the college game is meaningless and worthless????

Remember that the top OVERALL PLAYERS that are BORN in the eastern region are drafted by the bigger,more high profiled schools.Maybe they should put this in The Depths so I can let you in on a few more things.

hmmm...

Then why in the world did your "big boy" conference not win more bowl games? (he asked in an innocent voice)

Personally, I'll take an UNDEFEATED bowl season over a bunch of players getting drafted.
 
I don't think there is much correlation between how many players a conference has drafted by the NFL and how the conference is overall. Hell next year those number could be reversed. That's one draft, great research there buddy. Every conference has a down year with players in the pro draft. Even the mighty SEC. You would have to track the numbers over a 5 year period before I would even care. And you can't do that right now because the new Big East has only been around for a few years. Lets look at this topic again, say in summer 2010.

In my eyes, the Big East, Big 10, Big 12 and PAC 10 were all about the same last year. 2 or 3 good teams and the rest mediocre. The ACC was awful. The SEC was the SEC, they're the best conference and nobody is disputing that. I fail to see the point in this thread...:rolleyes2 Can't we at least wait until September before we start up the "Big Least" crap again. The horse is dead, you can stop beating it.

agree completely
 
Its interesting, But I think its about developing players right. The big east has got some good coaching recently, so I would expect the numbers to change. Not too much change tho

Not for nothing but the Big East didn't really have a tough bowl schedule.
L'Ville plays Wake not that tough
WVU play Ga Tech good game
Rutgers plays K-State
S. FLA plays ECU
Bearcats beat Ohio U was it?

Playing a SEC schedule would have been a lot tougher.

Here we go on the "tougher schedule" thing again. I can't speak for the other teams in the Big East, but I know Louisville had been trying to schedule the "big boys" for a few years now. Guess what? They won't play us. We have even offered them 2 away games at their place and one home game at Papa John's, but Ohio State, Michigan, et al still won't bite. Florida State will never play us again after we beat them a few years ago. I hope Miami signs another series with us, but I'm not sure if they will considering we almost beat them at their home a few years ago and then thumped them last season in Papa Johns.

The Big East will get stronger itself. The conference was gutted by the ACC, its going to take a little time to build up again. I wish the other conferences would just get off their high horses. I know they want to "see us beat someone", but no one will play us...:fire:

I believe he was referring to the bowl schedule, which was the point of the post he quoted.

Not sure what you are talking about with FSU, check out there schedule from year to year. They aren't afraid to schedule anybody. Before Miami joined the ACC they still had them on the schedule not to mention the Gators, that is when both Miami and the Gators were good. Miami not so much the past 2 years. Over the years they have scheduled good games.

As for the SEC, I wouldn't schedule anybody good in my non conference, I f I was them either. There inter conference is so good. But you are still going to see LSU play Va Tech. Tenn play Cali, if these 2 games can be scheduled I don't see why they wouldn't schedule L'Ville.

Unfortunately when teams schedule opponents the agreements are years out before the actual game.

The teams of the Big East didn't have any say in who the bowl teams that they played either. Louisville played in the Orange Bowl, but its not their fault that the ACC was down and Wake Forest won the bid.
