TCU could come in immediately as the 9th member. Villanova then has a few years to build their program at the 1 A level before joining the league. With TCU in early you fix the scheduling for an even 4 home/4 road in big East play.Grabbing the Philly and Dallas/Ft. Worth tv markets would be big opportunity to get the Big East tv network off the ground.While I would love to see that, does it matter if we're in the Philly market even if nobody watches? BE had the Philly market but tossed it out ... Hope you're right, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The may win their conference this year, a NQ yes, but a Conference title is still a conference title. They're already a member, so it won't piss off the BB only members, and they used to play in the BE. You add Temple and Villanova and move on. JMHO.

Temple probably has better attendance now than they did back in the Big East days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO.Neither are great football adds and the markets would overlap. It's the same reason UCF wouldn't be my first choice for expansion. One of the Philly schools and one of the TX schools would expand the footprint of the conference the most. Let's get that TV money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
