"Williams came to Ohio after a four-year stint at DePaul, where he helped guide the Blue Demons through the rugged BIG EAST Conference, widely regarded as the nation’s top league."

I'm not saying they're wrong, but it just seems strange to hear a school in one of the other conferences thought to be the best (at least traditionally, if not currently) conceding that title to the Big East. It's probably a throwaway line meant to hype up the new assistant, and I'm reading too much into it, but it did catch my eye.
