"It's over. It fought the good fight, but it's time to say goodbye," said former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese, who said his goodbyes to the conference today. "Memories will never die. The Big East will live on wherever there are people who care about college basketball."

"I thought the Big East was gone when Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College left," said SEC commissioner Mike Slive. "But they fought on, even through the loss of Pitt and Syracuse. It was inspirational. Sad, but inspirational."

Do They Know It's Christmas? (SEC Edition)
There's a world outside your conference
And it's a world of misery
Where the only bowls they're winning
Are the Belk and Liberty
And the athletes that play there
Are so slow and full of doom
We'll, tonight, thank God, it's them
Instead of you
