Yada, yada, yada…highlights….

Can’t go into specifics or publicly identify an institution UCONN might be speaking to…
On expansion timeline: "Not going to rush...the sooner the better."
No official invitations have been issued....but still endorsing expanding by six teams to a 12-team football model... Confirmed $10 million exit fee, triggered by one of specific set of new members agreeing to join league. Did not say which new members those are…
Regarding Big 12 Mizzou situation: ….not going to pause on the Missouri situation because it might not be resolved for awhile.
Says Big East is designing a plan to help league retain its automatic qualifying BCS status after current cycle ends after 2013 season. OK – good to know….
Basically, he’s taking questions so that BE media day tomorrow can focus on hoops

Was the converse ever an option? Jesus...

I liked the line about Notre Dame being the most committed to the Big East and excited about the 12 team FB league. Even money they've already negotiated a provision that permits ND to bump one of the participants out of the BE Championship Game if they have a record of 6-6 or better.

I saw "citadel" in the link and the first thing I thought was "boy we're taking this service academy thing to the extreme, aren't we?" You're next VMI! We want you!

If they are so committed to the BE and excited about the 12 team FB league, then join it. Otherwise, it's patronizing BS so they should shut the hell up.
