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...
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...
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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
