Quelle surprise.: Big East schools not named WVU are soliciting the Big 12 for an invite

Everyone acts as if the Big East doesn't have to try to settle with west virginia, and tough on the big 12. The other conferences have other means to move the big east off of 27 months. It doesn't have to be football related, we have the NCAA basketball tournament coming up and selection sunday. The committee has shown previously they don't like to select a large amount of big east teams, don't give them an added reason to leave out big east teams.

Be careful what you wish for. We would be gone in a second if the ACC would take us.We are no better than Cuse, Pitt, or WVA we just didn't get the opportunity to leave yet. I don't even blame BC or Miami any longer. The BE screwed up when they didn't address the football issue years ago and now it is too late.
The other conferences didn't have to do any poaching because the BE members are begging to leave no matter what they say publicly. My feeling: stop playing games and let WVA and Cuse go after this season.

Uh no. Letting them go unless puts the remaining Big East teams in a bind when it comes to their schedules. Let them honor the bylaws they helped craft. It was put in place to protect them just like everybody else. Now if the Big 12 wants to get involved in making Boise State to the Big East next year and maybe buy them out of their contracts then we could talk. Otherwise, no deal
