The new BE will be a better football product than the ACC or the old BE. I only hope we have the time, 2-3 years minimum, to show it. The ACC is not premium college football lately.

The Conference needs to do some agressive marketing. Having a Big East championship game will help.

If the conference can get to 12 football members, get a decent TV deal or deals and keeps it's AQ status, things will stabilize for awhile.

i guess that i am just venting. i have really enjoyed the BE Football Schools. i thought the rivalry's were beginning to take shape. i thought we could have gotten to new TV contract next year & really hit a home run. we all know that we arent the premier football conference, but if the numbers that i heard the SEC is doing this year(very poor) per Paul Fienbaum, we wouldnt need to be the best. i am telling you, I find myself tuning into BE games (not named UConn) a whole lot more than the Other conferences lately. i will to continue to support the home team and all conferences partners except for Rutgirls.

I think with BYU, Boise St., Air Force, and Navy it will get a very nice TV contract and the up-and-comers in large markets will help as well. I'm so ready to move on too.

Is the situation ideal? Nope. Does it have a chance to work? Yes. That's all I can ask for. So welcome the new teams to the BE and let's play ball!

The fact that there's even a Boise St. out there that's thinking of moving is a complete and total fluke! It wasn't in ANY of the plans of the BCS conferences that expected the current moves to be the final stake into the heart of the BE.
