Another Big East conference call

[abababa]

After reading SMU is putting up massive deficits each year in its athletic program I'm off of them. Nearly $20 mill a year will catch up to you, no matter how much money your alums have.

If SMU and UH get the nod over Temple...I LOVE this conference.  LOVE IT!

Tons and tons and tons of potential.  UCF, UH, and SMU have unlimited potential with a BCS label.

10 years from now, this conference could be a power house.  And if Boise falls off a cliff, we kick them out. But in the mean time, I am pretty excited about watching our Bulls play on the Smurf Turf on national TV. 

Considering all the doom and gloom scenarios out there.  This is about as good as we could have come out of this thing.  IMO

I agree with this sentiment and am really hoping to see SMU + Houston. Bringing in Air Force + Navy, SMU + Houston, and UCF to pair with USF would make for some up start rivalries from the get go. And you would have the Texas and Florida TV and recruiting markets.

Good insight on the possibility from someone on here about only adding 4 for 2012 resulting in a 12 team conference until Pitt and Cuse exit, then adding two later to replace them.

My fear is that this new Big East might last for a short time before teams are again cherry picked by the BigXII and ACC in another year or two.

looks like this is what we'll end up with if the Big East mans up and invites and all our targets accept.

East

UConn

Rutgers

Navy

WVU

USF

UCF

West

Cinci

L'Ville

SMU

Houston

AFA

Boise

Best League we could hope to get

UCF/UH/SMU gives us an unwieldy 17 BBall schools.  It seems a compromise, with Temple as FBall only to replace one of those 3 might get the BBall schools to vote?  Which gets off the list?

[Who'sYourData?]

Which gets off the list?

Louisville

[Doc]

DataBull, I was thinking that too.  If they plan for 17, then they know someone's leaving, to be replaced by a FBall-only or Nova moving up to IA.

This is by far the best case  scenario for us. Playing those teams in conference every year, and then one or two from the other division, would be great. All of those teams are appealing.

Hopefully they're discussing the upcoming lawsuit against the ACC, ESPN, Pitt and Syracuse!

Too bad Johnnie Cochran is dead  ;D

Is smazza admitted to practice is Florida?

No, he was "committed" once, but they couldn't hold him after 48 hours

[Doc]

If this happens, I wouldn't be surprised if they place USF/UCF to the "West" with BSU/AFA/UH/SMU to keep Sunbelt-Rustbelt split.  I think the satisfaction on this board would drop dramatically.

[Reliable Source]

The Big East is making plans to make a plan to have a conference call about making some plans. After that they will have a vote not to raise exit fees again.  A closely divided vote will once again not decide to fire Tater Head. And finally they will all unanimously vote to end the conference call about making plans.
