ESPN's 30 for 30 about the rise and fall of the Big East conference re-aired last night. It is my favorite 30 for 30 mostly because I remember all of the things as they happened b/c Providence (and Dave Gavitt) were key players in the formation of the conference. Originally comprised of Providence, St. John's, Georgetown, Boston College, Syracuse, Villanova, and Seton Hall. UCONN was added later as was Pitt. The first primary cast of recruits included Chris Mullin, Ed Pinckney, and Patrick Ewing. I mean the list of coaches: Boeheim, Pitino, Carnesecca, Carlessimo, Massimino, John Thompson...and that was just the 1st wave.
