That is the fulcrum upon which this battle teeters. The media clout of NBC saying "good" things about the Big East quickly will counteract the propaganda dispelled by ESPN and it's ACC lackey's. Ever

This.

Get NBC to pony up $20 million for the opponent and we'll get a Top 15 at-large to come.

I read a tweet that the Big East is talking with the Fiesta bowl.

That would be another dumb-ass move by the Big East, to have its marquee game in a western market... likewise it would be stupid to have it in the far east as well. Personally I think the Liberty Bowl would be a good fit given that it used to be a major bowl game back in the day, and if NBC kicks in some $$ then we could get a higher SEC opponent to show up, and the Liberty Bowl Committee (i.e. Memphis University) could do some much needed upgrades to the stadium to make it better and more modern.

The only teams that would get hosed by this setup would be Rutgers, San Diego State, and Boise State... all of the other schools are not that far away.

The executive commish said they are talking to several bowls but that for them to have a tie in, with the geography of the conference, might not work out every year.
