  1. I guess we also spoke to BYU http://www.tampabay.com/sports/report-big-east-eyes-western-trio/1266921
  2. I don't know how scheduling works for non-revenue sports, so bare with me. Could it be possible to add 6-7 full west coast members and only have them compete in the west division? Same for the east. It would cut down on travel costs and travel time and allowing for a "real" conference with full members.
  3. http://articles.courant.com/2012-12-18/sports/hc-geno-big-east-1219-20121218_1_catholic-schools-big-east-geno-auriemma
  4. Travel as a factor http://www.app.com/article/20121216/NJSPORTS0210/312160051/Rutgers-move-Big-10-will-add-up-Students-mileage
  5. If anyone is curious about naming rights: http://businessofcollegesports.com/2011/06/21/naming-rights-on-college-stadiums-and-arenas/
  6. The Yale bowl had more than 320,000 cubic feet of earth moved, contains 22,000 cubic yards of concrete, and 470 tons of steel. Is anyone able to price that out?
  7. Has there been any two schools that have moved as a package deal? I don't recall Pitt and 'Cues being a package. Also, the only conference that might want FL market is the B12, and they could take FSU presumably. Why share revenue with 2 schools when you would only need to share with 1?
  8. Would have been great 2 tears ago when there were quality universities to add.... Now? No such luck.
  9. You weren't an English, accounting or architecture major at USF were you? Not an economist either.
  10. In a 16 team league, can we have a semifinal game or do NCAA rules say otherwise?
  11. How much money do we no longer have to share with them from the other schools leaving?
  12. I'm not going to bash you, but, couldn't the Big 12 get those TV markets by adding FSU?
  13. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/bigeast/2012/12/13/big-east-conference-basketball-breakup-split/1766493/ On a deal that can "save" the league (the only thing I can think of as a 'deal' would be a larger share of revenue):
  14. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2012/12/13/atlantic-10s-butler-not-thinking-about-big-east-move/1768543/ Not much here except this quote from the Butler AD: As good as gone? lol
  15. If they vote to dissolve the league, the "big east" schools lose their ability to attend the NCAA... Do I have that correct? I would think that would be the LAST thing they would want to happen. The tourney is everything for them.
