At The Big East meetings in Ponte Vedro Beach, Fla., officials are wrestling with ways to manage an 18-team basketball league, especially in terms of its centerpiece, the tournament at Madison Square Garden.

Next year, with the league down to 15 teams and UConn likely to remain ineligibile, the tournament will be easier to manage. Coaches have endorsed a plan for all 18 teams, minus Syracuse and Pitt, including the newcomers, to qualify for the tournament and come to the Garden in 2014. This from a story from our sister paper, The Orlando Sentinel, from the meetings.

    HELP! PLEASE.
    The Hartford Courant MUST be responsible and help to expose Brett Kimberlin.
    He is an evil, dangerous felon that uses fear to make you, yes you, to whom I write, be so afraid that you stay silent. That silence will ensure his success. His story is being told on a lot of blogs today, not your’s I suspect, but conservative blogs.
    Kimberlin’s story can be verified on theblaze.com.

  2. 18 teams at a tournament sight? 6 games in a week? When will the madness end so that the real madness (March) can return in earnest.

    Would someone please step in and take over College sports – please?
