He has been pretty reliable with expansion info.

They are pretty terrible in football, hopefully they improve.

Basketball is a good addition.

At least the BFC* found a geographical team east of the Mississippi.

*Big Frakin' Conference

I guess Air Force said no.

I guess Air Force said no.

That, or expect another Big East team to leave.

Wow, the leadership in the Big East should have just gone to CUSA because it is turning into that.

ummm...??

Why?

You do realize that after WVU, Pitt and Cuse leave we will be left with 11 teams:

Cincinnati,

UConn,

Louisville,

Rutgers,

South Florida,

UCF,

Houston,

SMU,

Boise State,

San Diego State

Memphis

We would still need a 12th

If the Big East falls apart, that is where USF will land...

I would guess that Air Force is still in play, but maybe they won't come in until 2015 with Navy?

Forgot about Navy

That would make a perfect 12, without needing to drop a team.

Add AF and another team (Temple/ECU) for a healthy 14

..So I still don't see why this points to the BEast losing another team

Dogma, the rumor is still out there that the Big XII might invite Louisville down the road.
