Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4670001, member: 55"] As someone who would take a Big XII offer if it came, do we have to run down the Big East? It is not close to a mid-major. It is clearly a power conference, and with UConn back over a few year period is going to be in the top half of that group as often as not. Xavier, Creighton and 'Nova are all competing with the power football schools year in and year out without huge subsidies from the schools. The difference is we're trying to play big time football without big time football revenue and they're not. If we knew the current college sports environment would stay relatively stable and you didn't mind shutting down the football program, staying in the Big East would be fine. But, to me, those are big ifs. [/QUOTE]
