CFN,s Quick Outs,

[mellobull]

don't know if this little tidbit has already been posted....but here it tis  

[south Florida’s blowout of North Carolina in Chapel Hill is Example No. 30 this fall alone that the Big East is on very solid footing. The conference has earned so much goodwill in 2006, now might be a good time to begin recruiting for a couple more football members, say, Maryland out of the ACC /quote] ,,,,maryland yes/ doa members no

I think that adding one more football team to the big east wouldn't be a bad idea, but unfortunately the 16 team basketball conference DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER TEAM.

I would love to See maryland in the conference that'd be good, but I'd rather (even though i hate them) see UCF join to trash them every year for a conference victory.

Always good tu see USF publicity though.

you put UCF in the Big East and they compete for our recruits..... Bad for USF

[Jewbull]

If UCF goes to the Big East then we need to go to the SEC...............Always being a step ahead of them is necessary.

[Bull Martin]

I know, but UCF will never get a Big East invite anytime soon.  Not afterthe Pitt trouncing.  Maybe in a few years.

Maryland would be the 1st name that I've heard that makes some sense. I've heard that some of the old ACC teams aren't too happy with how the new teams have affected the conference. That said none of these arguments address the issue of already having 16 basketball schools. You would have to delete one of them....maybe either new member DePaul or Marquette...they aren't exactly in the East. However, I don't think anything will happen....the status quo hasn't been that bad for any of the schools.
