I find it funny that half the time people worry about the Big East losing it's BCS bid (which is a long shot in my opinion).
Then the other half of the time, people worry about some godawful C-USA/MTNW hybrid conference will gain a BCS bid.
If the Big5 conferences are going to strip the Big East of it's bid, do you really think they are going to be giving it away to C-USA/MTNW as opposed to keeping it for themselves?
Edit: I feel like this is C-USA and MTNW realizing their best schools are about to be poached by the Big East.
