Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 4659860, member: 4613"] The cold hard reality is that the big conferences are getting bigger and richer and you have to be a part of it or you will be left behind. USC and UCLA are going to the mid-west and east coast. PAC and ACC fans want their conferences to merge. I am starting to believe the Big East will fall behind and it could be much sooner than we'd like to believe. "Hey how come Andrew gets to get up. If he gets up, we'll all get up. It'll be anarchy!" Yormark and the Big 12 are supposedly focusing more on basketball and I think it's a good strategy. They cannot compete with the P2 in football so they are going to differentiate themselves. I would not be surprised if they eventually acquire some basketball only schools to solidify their position. I believe there is a risk Nova and others could be invited to a bigger conference and that would cripple the Big East. Accepting any P5 offer is the only play, love it or hate it. [/QUOTE]
