The loss of the possible New York bowl is hurting the Big East.  They had no control of that situation.

Huh? I've never even heard of this bowl. I assume it has something to do with the alleged NY olympic/Jets stadium project?

As for other potential new games, I've heard Toronto and Indianapolis mentioned, both of which were suggested as Big East vs MAC.

Yeah, when the new stadium was still being considered, a bowl game was all lined up for the new stadium and would be Big East affiliated.

Unfortunately, it fell through.

That's unfortunate. A New York City game would have been great for the conference. I'm concerned about the Big East only having 3 tie-ins right now, but with so many games and so many cities wanting to start one, I'm sure places will be found for the 4th and probably 5th bids in the conference. I'd still like to see Nashville back in the Big East fold (since the Big Ten has left).

The Big East is so small, it's having a hard time selling itself.

The BCS status isn't getting games.  The size of the conference and its marketibility is.  Pitt losing to Rutgers is not helping.

I don't think the conference size is an issue. Adding mediocre programs will not help the situation. The league will get a 4th tie-in somewhere, and possibly a 5th, just because some of these low-rent games simply have no other choices.

And Pitt just plain sucks. What moron's decision was it to hire Dave Wannstedt?
