Interesting article on the BIG EAST and TCU.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/14274741/big-east-and-tcu-marriage-made-in-realignment-heaven/

The BE really dropped the ball when the had a chance to get Penn State in the 1980's.  Penn State's basketball stunk then just as much as it stinks now, and the basketball only schools were afraid of football, which did not exist in the BE back then.  However, if Penn State did join in the 80's, then the Big East would have been bigger than the ACC in football and would not have raided the Big East, which means USF would have been stuck in C-USA.

It looks to me that that the "BE" and "moving quickly"....ar two terms that we may never see used in the same sentence. The sluggishness shown is ...awe inspiring.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    "For me, I never considered it that way (as a stepping stone), honestly. When I was offered the head job at South Florida, and I'm sincere about this, I never thought I would ever go anywhere."
