Big East Divisional Split

[HwnBull]

The presidents of Big East schools are expected to approve a two-division format Tuesday for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Sources told ESPN that for the purposes of football, the conference will be divided into a western division of Boise State, Houston, Memphis, San Diego State, SMU and Temple, and an eastern division of Central Florida, Cincinnati, UConn, Louisville, Rutgers and South Florida.

All of the schools were pretty clear-cut as to which belonged in the western or eastern division, except Temple, which, pending approval, will be placed in the western division.

Earlier reports called for the divisions to be called Red and Blue, instead of being named geographically, but that is now unclear, sources said.

Somebody has to till 2014 when it goes to 14. In this case its the new guy in PA as east teams want to recruit FL with a game there yearly as UL needs catered to right now.

Am I the only one who wanted this lol? I wanted it to be like the ACC split of FSU and Miami. Obviously play them in one of our cross-divisional games each year.

ESPN just flashed some new logo for the divisions...

• Western Division:
  
• Boise State
  
• Houston
  
• Memphis
  
• San Diego State
  
• SMU
  
• Temple
  

• Eastern Division:
  
• South Florida
  
• Cincinnati
  
• UConn
  
• Louisville
  
• Rutgers
  
• Central Florida
  

At least the Big East decided to not do some gay ass "Blue Division" and "Red Division" crap. Much happier with East vs West... would had preferred South vs. North but beggars can't be choosy.
