    If I Could go Back in Time (and have some say in UConn athletics)...

    http://www.cbssports.com/general/story/13515726/fedex-ceo-could-provide-millions-if-bcsaffiliated-league-takes-Memphis The Big East should've added Memphis per this deal and given all the money to Florida State to join, that's probably at least $10mil per year for 10 years for the Noles on top...

    America 12?

    Unfortunately, they didn't get the most important one, America12.com, which was previously registered.

    From the site that broke the Maryland to Big Ten news- UVA likely to join

    Yeah. If the ACC implodes I hope the schools that left the Big East can return to the conference and the ACC disappears.

    Thanks rbny1, I noticed that earlier today. It's a funny/odd pic that inspired a lot of good responses.

    c7 reaching out to Memphis...

    The Big East should reach out to VCU and Butler, with them they'd be - at worst - the third best basketball conference.

    We need fresh rumors

    Eventually Lipscomb and Longwood will wind up in the same conference.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures

    I don't believe that would be very smart on UConn's part, it'd hurt the football program at a time when they need all the help they can get.

    Cincy steals a top recruit from SJU's backyard...

    Good pick up for Cincinnati and the Big East, I thought he was going to St John's.

    The Big East, v 4.0

    After the Big10 and the ACC it isn't inconceivable that that Big East could be the third best conference "in a good year". I'm not saying every year or even 25 percent of the time all I'm saying is some of those programs could improve and that BE could get more tourney bids than the SEC, Big12...

    The Big East, v 4.0

    North: UConn, Cincinnati, Temple, Army, Navy, East Carolina South: USF, UCF, SMU, Houston, Memphis, Tulane This would be a pretty good Big East conference, probably 6th in football and perhaps 3rd in basketball in a good year.

    I'd like a new/old name

    Could I possibly go back to the name I used on the previous board, the scout board? It was: obliterata

    Aresco cannot sell the The Big East 'brand equity' to the C7

    I hope the football schools keep the Big East name, letting the C7 have it would be a mistake. I'd also like to see the conference move away from westward expansion and stay in the east/midwest/south but if a better TV contract could be had by adding western schools the BE would have to do it...

    Arnold Dean passed away

    I always looked forward to listening to his show in the 80s during the college basketball season, particularly Monday night with Rita Napolitano. He used to be on radio and TV in Syracuse, I was rather young then and don't quite remember him but if I saw a photo of him in his younger days I...

    We need new rumors

    I heard from a good source that the Pac12 will add FSU, Gtech, NC, and Virginia -perhaps for football only.

    Boeheim: ‘Rivalries don’t matter to anyone anymore’

    Boeheim isn't SU, the university made the decision to leave the Big East not JB. He had zero input on the move and is sorry to go I'm sure.

    The ACC move

    I'm a long time Big East fan, it's sad what's happened/happening to the conference. Being a Syracuse fan too, it's a disgrace that the university wanted to abandon ship years ago and now has for the conference that has always been the enemy of northeastern schools even prior to the formation of...

    Marcus Lattimore

    Terrible injury. At least this involves his right knee, not the left which he injured last year.

    Memphis is joining the Big East

    I know I've mentioned this a couple times here before but I've got to do it again now that Memphis is in the Big East. If this offer is still valid - and maybe it's one of the reasons Memphis WAS added, I don't know - the BE should try to raid one or more of the other BCS conferences to get a...

    The Big East Needs To Be Ruthless Too

    As I've mentioned before, the head man at FedEx said he'd give $100 million to the BCS conference with an AQ that adds Memphis - the Big East should at least explore this option and perhaps try to get a big name football school to join. Give all the money to one of the following schools to join...

    Chicago Trib: West Virginia's move could prompt Irish to think Big Ten (along with Rutgers)

    I don't know why the SEC wants Missouri, if I were them I'd raid the ACC hard. FSU, Clemson, NC St, VaTech, and Maryland would be my targets, take 3 or all 5 and be done with it.

    Source: Temple Could Be Invited Back to Big East [Sporting News.com]

    Correct, I hate the move. I'm one of the few who feel this way, most on the SU board are gungho for it. It's a shame a lot of the Big East football schools wanted out: WV and Louisville would've jumped at an SEC invite last year and this.....Rutgers wanted to be in the Big10 last year and...

    Source: Temple Could Be Invited Back to Big East [Sporting News.com]

    One option I thought the Big East should've explored years ago and should definitely look at now involves Memphis. The head man of FedEx I believe said he had $100 million to give to the BCS conference that let Memphis join. If that's the case - and more $$$ would be even better - the BE should...
