I can understand staying independent over joining a conference, but in what world is the Big East a better option than the Big 12 unless you think Notre Dame is going to continue to be mediocre?
The Big East is a BCS conference with major media market cash for all of the other sports.
The Big 12 may have better overall athletics, but it doesn't have the same attraction.
The Big East is Maria Sharapova, the Big 12 is Venus Williams.
