Is the Big East viable without UofL, WVU, Pitt and SU all gone?

It is not viable if 2 of West Virginia, Louisville, UCONN, Rutgers leave. Maybe it can be salvaged if 3 of those 4 remain. In an odd way, the losses of Pitt and Syracuse combined with th eloss of UL, West Virginia and /or UCONN also has a huge negative impact on the basketball league, which nobody has discussed very much. In fact, Pitt and Syracuse have been huge contributors to the hoop league's status over the past 5 years and its unlikely that replacing them with a couple of mid-majors will fix that. Of all the potential replacements, the one who will be most opposed, Temple, would be the strongest replacement.

Yes the BE is viable without the football schools. Obviously, there will be no BCS bid.The remaining BE conference will still be a good basketball conference with Nova, marquette, Gtown, SJU.

Just for my own edification, are you in the "beg harder" camp?

Nope. I'm easy. As long as we don't add some truly awful teams I'm OK. I can justify Boise, Air Force and Navy on paper.

There's a guy on the TCU board that ran the BCS numbers for a Big East with WVU staying and adding TCU (2), Boise(8), Air Force (27) and Navy (38). It's impressive compared to the ACC since we are talking about replacing Syracuse and Pitt with crappy colley matrix numbers and the bottom of the ACC are even more woeful than the bottom 4 in the Big East. Duke and Wake and Virginia make Rutgers, Louisville, and Cincy look good!

Waylon and myself have a better chance of double dating rich 21 yr old twin blonde nymphomaniacs than the BE surviving without UL and WVU.

If rich 21 year old twin blonde nymphomaniacs are avalailable why wouldn't you date both? I don't see where you would need Waylon in this scenario.

Now TCU in the mix for Big 12 according to Chip Brown.

That would leave only Rutgers, UConn, Cincy, USF.

Isn't Chip Brown Bevo's mouthpiece?

This was leaked to scare Louisville (and possibly WVU) into committing to the B-12 before they settle the TV rights agreement.
