John Marinatto has resigned as Big East commissioner

They must have someone else in mind to come in and handle the negotiations. Tagliabue?

Whoever it is, we need them fast.

I hope they have someone more than "in mind." I hope they have someone waiting to sign a contract.

Things will get better in BE.

Lets hope we get the call up to the majors some day, though.

The good thing for us is that any loyalty we had to the big east because of him is now gone. He did not have an easy job trying to hold things together. I'm hoping if expansion does ever happen in the future we can get some serious consideration and an invite.

Go Bulls!

Did I miss something recently? This article states that Big East Automatic Qualifying Status is already gone?

Word is that AQ is gone from all conferences from 2014

here's a conspiracy theory for you.... the ACC wanted us to move but wouldn't ok it until the sundome was completed... basically giving us all new facilities on campus.

(intended as a joke... i have nothing to back it up. i'm just stirring the pot)
