The Big East Conference, the only to send three teams to a Final Four, will announce Thursday that its non-FBS programs are splitting from their brethren, sources told The Post.

The presidents of the seven schools that don’t play big time football - DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence Seton Hall, St. John’s and Villanova - are holding a teleconference with Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco Thursday.

That pretty much kills the Big East as far as basketball goes. It is already dead as a football conference.

You're right. We don't have 2 threads dedicated to this topic.

Finally y'all can just shut the hell up about BYU joining the Big lEast.

So is Gonzaga going to join up with Big East basketball schools? These teams are supposedly courting Gonzaga and St. Mary's.

I'm for going back to the MWC if that happens, at least with non football sports to counter Hawaii there or something.

I don't think that's an option, is it?

Why? Because Thompson said he didn't want any schools for non football only?

Please..

I have no idea. Hair Thompson seems pretty set upon not getting bossed around by BYU. Hawaii needs a counter to their football only membership.

How about a little BYU too? Gonzaga, St. Mary's, Villanova, St. John's, Georgetown, Providence -- I'll take it.

I feel bad for UConn and Cincy.
