Could Wichita State join the Big East? One Big East AD thinks it's worth considering

Conference realignment is always a touchy subject. It's often an arranged marriage that follows an estrangement between a member school and a conference, and as such, is hardly ever a perfect union.

As the conference continues to try to mold its identity, there is at least one member school's athletic director who thinks it may be time to consider bringing new schools into the fold.
