    Why did they stand pat at 10 last year then?

      • Big East is down to 6 teams. Can they survive? If not, is there still a chance ND ends up in the B12? Won't we all be happier if we just pretend that BYU is waiting to make a joint announcement with ND?

          Lesson learned. Expand to 12 and stability is all but assured.

            Arrogance? Who knows. The landscape is completely different this year.
            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            • I think BYU would be a excellent replacement for TCU in the Big East.

                And when they do and the Big 12 becomes the Big 16 guess what Larry Scott does? I'll let that marinate for a bit.

                    This is why I am posting to you live from the top of a high bridge. BYU needed to be the 10th member so that they were already in when the Big East's finest started to beg for inclusion. Now that we aren't, we may be left out because the Big 12 goes East instead of West.

                        I'm guessing UConn has been redialing Jim Swarbrick's number like a 13-year-old girl trying to win Justin Bieber tickets from Hot! 97.1FM.

                              I can see it now: Boise St, San Diego St, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

                                Curious. What do you think he does? I think he'd like Texas no matter what, but a 9 team or a 16 team Big 12 doesn't seem like it should impact the decision.
