the silence is deafening

BE is in no position to go out and do anything, We are basically just sitting around to see what happens, and then bring in some non-BCS teams to fill in, Conf USA Part Deux... UCF will be ecstatic

When was the last time that you were in the Big East office?

[redfisher78]

Wrong? You just said exactly what I did. BE doesnt have options. There is nothing advantageous about the BE that would lure a decent team, they are just trying to figure out which smaller team to ask to join .

what is usf's position on expansion

has usf had talks with acc,sec and /or big east members

this is a time for leadership

Why is it automatically assumed that Rutgers will accept?  RU owns the refs in this conference, why would they abandon all of those payouts they've made over the years?  It' be like a mobster buying off all the judges and crooked cops in Tampa, only to move to Atlanta...  It doesn't make a lot of sense.

More $$$ in Big Ten, perhaps even get better recruiting with the possibility of a schedule that wont include army, weber and norfolk state

I highly doubt that practice would stop

the big east is frozen like a dear in headlights

Thats because they are the deer looking into the headlights - not knowing if there is a good old boy with a shot gun behind the lights or some lost fool saying "Nice pretty deer"

They aren't going to say anything publicly usf has a contract with the big east.

[deters-]
