AQ statusI won't believe this until I see it. Don't really see any reason for BYU to make this move, especially this soon after declaring their independence.
+1If true not only has the Big East conference survived the recent defections but it has become a much stronger football conference. The first truly national football conference, which may prove to be a strength not a weakness.
For football:
BYU and Boise > Syracuse and Pitt
Houston = TCU (plus Houston has better hoops)
Did the Big East just add better football schools than the ACC? Are we gaining football ground on the ACC? How frustrating that thought must be for them.
How is Houston=TCU?
It all subjective but they sell out all of their games and they are building a new stadium. TCU might be in for a rude awakening when they start playing the big boys in the big 12.
Do you remember mocking me and calling me names for saying the Big East should be going after BYU and Boise St?

Unless and until they find any one of the dozens of other coaches capable of fielding a competitive BCS program.Everything about Houston changes if Sumlin gets hired away from there.

Way to man up.Nope, you have the wrong person.
Drop Navy and you lose Air Force, lose Air Force and you lose BYU and Boise St.If BYU comes aboard, then let's make a true Western division. Let's have eight East Coast and eight west coast teams. I say drop Navy and replace them with East Carolina. Navy is not going to be able to become bowl eligible in this conference. They are better off as an independent.

I laughed (actually, am still laughing) at your UMess suggestion and your response was (paraphrasing)
"what's your plan to get BYU and Boise St wingnut???"
You are so annoying and full of crap.
The internet is a wonderful thing. Quick 5 minute search and I can bring up your words exactly.Yeah, I didn't think you had a plan to land BYU, TCU and Baylor. So you know what you can do....
I think this is spot on...and much more interesting to read than the bitching.Drop Navy and you lose Air Force, lose Air Force and you lose BYU and Boise St.
Navy is a key player in all of this.
