Here is the key part of the article:
Another official that attended the meeting said the league’s members made a commitment to work and stay together.
“It went well,” the official said. “I think those schools that thought they were going somewhere now realize they have no where to go.”
So the last Big East raid of 2003 left Syracuse in the league and everyone knew they would be on the first train out of town the next expansion go around. I guess we now take their place. We stay in this glorified Conference USA until the next round of expansion occurs. Hopefully that happens before Syracuse and Pitt are allowed to leave in 2014, but that may not be likely if the rumors of a Big 12 '5 Year Peace Treaty' come to fruition.
We will get to that Super Conference eventually (we are clearly the next in line), but it may just be a few more years!
