Not a lot of talk about Red/Blue outside of the ESPN snippet:
"League officials already have discussed how to split the divisions when the Big East grows to 14 teams. Sources said the most popular 14-team model would then be Red and Blue divisions that are nongeographic.
The proposed Red Division in 2015 would consist of Louisville, UConn, Memphis, Navy, San Diego State, USF and SMU, while the Blue Division would consist of Boise State, Cincinnati, UCF, Houston, Rutgers, Temple and the 14th team."
"Each team would play six games within its division and two games against the other division, including one permanent cross-division game. The annual cross-division games would be Cincinnati-Louisville, UConn-Rutgers, Boise State-San Diego State, Houston-SMU, Navy-Temple, UCF-USF and Memphis versus the 14th team."
"Those division lineups could be tweaked to appease the Big East's future TV partners and increase the worth of the media rights deal"
Maybe that's what ESPN wanted and didn't get? From all I read today, it seems pretty clear that post 2014 divsional alignement is in the air and not written in stone.
