Big10 Raid of Big East...

[tampabull]

The thing ND has to look at, if all this change happens and I mean the ACC/SEC expansion which will decimate the Big East. Do they want to be left with the 7 other non-football schools for all of their olympic sports?

I mean Georgetown, Villanova, St Johns, Providence, Depaul, Marquette, & Seton Hall ain't a bad basketball conference but you are now similar to an Atlantic 10 conference. Is that where ND wants to be for the sake of playing who they want when they want in football?

Although ND told the BE they plan on keeping their other sports in the BE, they will end up going to the big 10.  It might not be this month or next, but before the football season begins I think you will see ND to the big 10.

Yeah - a report that contradicts other reports and has never been reported by anyone else ... this has to be purposeful misinformation.

Pretty amusing thread on this on the KU Scout board.

Brown Bull: That was my reasoning behind the ND "ultimatum," essentially forcing them out so that they wouldn't even have the Catholic schools to play ball with.  Makes accepting the BigTen invite even more urgent, maybe saving a BigEast school or two (and preserving the league for the non-FBall schools who might otherwise side with the Irish).

You can sign up for a free scout membership with no obligation. That's what I have and it allows me to read and post on most non premium boards. On some of their boards you might need approval to post.
