  • After Louisville leaving for the ACC, I think many of these teams won't even play a game in the conference. The basketball schools might as well form their own league or merge with the A-10. The Big East was looking like a somewhat decent mid-tier football conference before Louisville & Rutgers left, and then they decided to invite one of the worst football teams in FBS.

    • Going back and reading this thread is fun.

      I wish Coach would have taken that bet with Viking.

        Cincy is decent, but they can't be your headliner. Boise could be, but even they've taken a step back. UConn is a joke. Nobody takes the directional Florida schools seriously. Houston and SMU are there for markets, even though Houston's been one of the better non-AQ teams over the last few years.

        It's just going to fall apart. I think the ACC will take UConn at some point and it'll fall apart.

        • Since the Big East is basically C-USA 2.0. C-USA 1.0 is adding Middle Tennessee & Florida Atlantic.

          • With Louisville leaving, I can't imagine Boise and SDSU still going through with this. Cincy and UConn are looking for the door and so you've switched to join Conference USA at this point. I will be surprised if either Boise or SDSU plays a game in the Big East.

            • I'm surprised their ADs said they were committed to this yesterday.

Sometimes every so often, every so many years, there's going to be a big fissure and a lot of things are going to happen. I don't think anybody can say what that earth is going to be right now. One thing is for sure, the earth is not standing still right now."

                          Put us back in the MWC please! Boise, SDSU, and Houston will follow suit once they see the paltry TV deal that the Big East will get.

                            Can the MWC get much more money than that?

                              Can either the MWC or Big East get more money than we can as an independent?
