Under no circumstances would the Big East let every little detail of their expansion plans leak out unless they wanted the expansion to fail. Two weeks ago I said that the Big East should be working secretly to expand. Several on the board said it didn't matter, they were wrong. You can't conduct expansion in open view from the Big East's position. ESPN, B12 and ACC all want the conference dead. By operating openly and in broad daylight, you make it much, much easier to foil the expansion. Further, you make it much easier for Louisville and WVU to negotiate an exit because everyone knows they are telling the truth when they say "hurry, take us before we expand".
The leadership would have to be beyond naive to operate this way. It makes no sense at all.
