SEC-Big East Invitational To Expand

PrintIt looks like the SEC-Big East Invitational is set to expand to include more teams. That's a good thing.
The format, as reported by Zags Blog, will apparently include 12 teams from each league. The new format would include all SEC teams and 12 of the 16 Big East teams:
"It will likely start next year," the source said, adding that the series would be in the "mold" of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge which features games on campus locations instead of neutral sites.
ESPN would pick which four Big East teams miss out each year. I'm guessing Pitt shouldn't have a problem being selected most years unless the selection is done on a pure rotation (which I can't imagine).
I think this is great news for the conference. More exposure and we could see some really good matchups down the line. And if the neutral sites are taken out of it, this would give fans the chance at seeing some pretty good teams at The Pete - Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida ... good stuff.

I honestly don't know why they didn't do this sooner
Include as many teams as they can, make this a big event like it should be. Four teams from each side just made no sense. Make it like the Big 10/ACC challenge where they score it too, and declare a winning conference at the end.
OK I know, that sounds ridiculously lopsided toward the Big East, especially if they decide to sit the DePauls, etc of the conference.
That's like a pumpkin pie right in the face!
