Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[SANJAY]

So, who is voting for these schools to come into the conference? Did only the 5 remaining football schools vote on ECU?

I think everyone who is leaving is voting yes. "yes team from _______, you may join our prestigious conference. (we will be the eff out of here long before you come aboard. Except the basketball schools we're effing over now. Oh and USF will be here too.)"

Is Rutgers, Pitt, and Syracuse allowed to vote on such matters?

I don't think so. I think UL, Cincy and UConn are even though all expect to be out the door.

I guess there is still a league lower than the Big East.

That is as close to University of Phoenix as you are going to get.

Is this for real? Is there a Yosemite National Park University as well? At this point nothing with conference realignment will shock me.

So let me get this right. USF, CINCY, UCONN, and UL are the only teams left in this dumpster fire of a conference? And one of the 4 remaining teams (not us) will more than likely announce their departure this week? To fill the gaps we are pulling mid-majors from C.USA, the WAC, and the MAC. We also have a football coach with a terrible record who can most politely be described as a bumbling idiot and an AD who keeps asking the alumni for more money but won't take any tough questions until after the season is over. Is this the current situation?

Oh... forgot the BCS era record low attendance numbers.

@Tjonessltrib A 12-team MW would pay less than $1 million per team from TV. Big East will easily outperform that.

RT @murphsturph: Aresco says Boise State and San Diego State "are as committed as they’ve ever been" to Big East.

Aresco: We are not finished. Have other plans for expansion. Not sitting still. Big East has always managed to be resilient.

Stefanie Loh â€@StefanieLoh

SDSU just reaffirmed through an athletic dept spokesman that the #Aztecs still fully intend to go to the Big East in 2013.

Brian Murphy â€@murphsturph

Aresco calls Tulane part of the league's "big-market strategy, says all hoops schools are in big markets. Might be why ECU is football only

@KevinMcNamara33: Mike Aresco: "We're not finished. We have other plans for expansion...could go to 16 in football"

No BYU or AF... I guess ACC is definitely not done
