Yep. Time for the rest of us to pull our weight.

It's crazy how much those conferences get away with saying about the Big East without actually being good.

Let's now forget Denver won the national title as a Big East member in lacrosse last May.

You forgot a few:

Have a #1 team in the nation during the season
Have multiple matches between top 10 teams in the season
Have a top 5 match between teams in a season
