Big East Backfill If 4 Schools Go To Big 12

[Blades]

Why would the Big12 add non football playing universities? The Big 12 is not going invite SJU and Georgetown and unless Nova upgrade fb, I doubt they'd be invited.

Now, would I like to see Nova, GU, SJU and us in the Big12?

Yep, this is the type mongrel conference make-up that created most of Uconn's problems to begin with. That's why it sounded crazy when the Yormack rumor on Gonzaga came out. East coast hoops stronghold faction for the Big 12 ? He needs to be careful or he'll und up like Aresco when the only things he's been good at is collecting exit fees to pay his salary and creating fake slogans to keep his members pacified.

Just a couple of thoughts: Cal has made it clear they want to stay in the PAC. The Big12 is looking into separating their basketball tv deal from their football tv deal, so not farfetched for them to want east coast basketball brands.

While the B12 Commish may be talking out loud about finding a way to split football & basketball revenue, the conference just signed a deal for BOTH football and basketball that runs thru 2031.

That was the point. He and Baylor AD Mack Rhoades as recently as a day or so ago said that these plans are for the 2031 contract negotiations not now. Mack Rhoades just said in an interview with 365sports that all moves made now are geared for 2031.

Yes and at least it shows Yormark is thinking that far ahead of the current situation. I haven't seen the actual deal they just signed so don't know either way if it does or doesn't have a re-do/recalc clause to allow for this sort of change?

If those four are invited to the XII, I don't care who the Big East adds...

If UConn is invited to the Big 12 or the ACC or the Big 10 I won’t even look to see who the NEWBIE adds

I need some help. Who or what is NEWBIE?

NBE = new big east (the remnants of the catholic schools that left the football schools and took the big name with them)

Newbie = an inexperienced newcomer

I'm assuming it's a play on words, NEWBIE.


But also, I hate that I'm posting in this thread, because if UConn leaves the big east for a power conference I will never look back and have zero fs to care about who the big east adds.

And yet you opened, read, and posted in this thread.

It's a lame nickname freescooter and couple other posters use for The Big East.

The New Big East. The Big East ceased to exist at the end of the 2013 academic year. It’s records technically belong to the American. The New Big East bought the name. Sort of like the New Black Eagle Jazz Band, though they had the decency to keep New in their name.

So, although I agree with you in theory, the new big east actually "bought the rights to the history" of the old big East. Yeah, Aresco is an ass hat.

I'm sorry this horror happened to you but it did happen. It will always be a part of history.

I dare you to watch this 3 minute video...

Mostly because I’m bored at work- hypothetical situation with UConn, SJU, Villanova, Georgetown moving to the B12. How would the Big East backfill?

Get to 10:

St. Louis
Loyola Chicago
Fordham (?)

Get to 12

Previous 3 +
St. Joe’s?
Fairfield?

Get to 16

Previous 5 +

Detroit?
Holy Cross?
VCU?
Richmond?

Mostly Jesuit schools sans VCU and Richmond. Options aren’t great though. Maybe they’d grab a Dayton, Wichita, etc before most of these religious schools. Just wild to see how barren it gets past getting back to 10 schools. I don’t think Gonzaga would have interest in joining the league if those four schools left either.

It would most likely be UConn and CCSU as a traveling partner plus they would grasp the whole state of CT from the NEC.
