Best Basketball Conference?

First off, I have to admit, the Big 10, ummm, underperformed. However....

The Big East isn't even a conference. They don't even play everyone in there own league. The Big East is a REGION. Maybe we can do like the Big East... The Big Ten, Big 12, and MVC can all say, "Hey, we decided we're one conference now, with 33 teams. The Big Midwest". Only difference is, we'd win football games too. Heck, UNI could beat just about anyone in the Big East in football.

Incidentally, let's take a look at Final Four history back to 1999. The Big Ten has placed 8 teams in the Final Four, the Big 12 got 5, the Big East a whopping 3. Can't argue with numbers like those. Simply can't.
