It only effects basketball and olympic sports. We still have 13 schools for football with one more on the way. Its not the doomsday scenario, its just makes it look like we are still not a stable conference. That perceptions hurts us more than the move itself. the death nail will be Ville and the other school that leaves. Of course losing a full-time member like UL, UConn or Rutgers hurts more, but ND will affect being associated with a major bowl and it will hurt the contract. We were recently hearing rumors about the ND/BE Orange Bowl tie in. Now, there's no incentive for ND to help us out in that regard. At least we have something else to talk about before the game tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss of them for basketball hurts slightly, but there are not a huge amount of Notre Dame basketball fans. This is by far the one loss that hurts the least. At face value it hurts the least, but the perception of the conference takes another huge hit. The Big East is open game for anyone to come in and take whatever they want. The Big East has been, and will be, open for anyone to come in and take whatever they want until we get the NBC contract .... hopefully, very nice contract.

I am wondering if he spends all his paycheck on paying off informants. Either that or he shops here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
