This "challenge" is a joke. Not only is the Big East too top heavy for the idea of a "challenge," but there's no real history between the conferences, and the match-ups are poorly chosen. Florida played Marquette? Syracuse played Arkansas? Why not have Florida play Syracuse? It's not that hard to foresee the quality of these games; the Big 10/ACC challenge gets their match-ups right more often than not. They're trying to recreate the success of the Big 10/ACC challenge, and they're failing on multiple levels.
