SDSU is the other one seeking an out! That would be a ridiculous conference travel distance. I truly think the Big East will be no more.LJ;1326676 wrote:Doesn't change the 3,000 mile trip between UConn and SDSU
Where were those schools playing football ten years ago?LJ;1326672 wrote:LOL
When Syracuse stopped becoming relevant and Miami and VT left. On a side note on NCAA Football I reset the conferences to where they were in 2002. The landscape of college football was so much bettersleeper;1326698 wrote:The Big East is a joke. The brand is ruined entirely.
The B1G may end up being the best bball conference...they have IU, OSU, UM, Mich St in the top 25 (the first 3 are in the top 5) and then Wisconsin is tough. Add Maryland and guessing they get back to relevance some and thats a pretty tough class to beat.tmac23;1327184 wrote:Big East started as a basketball conference.I remember watching it when ESPN first started. It was great watching the great match-ups they had on T.V.Now they must forget about football and just try to have the best b-ball conference around.With ACC schools possibly moving elsewhere it could get very interesting.
No doubt that it'll be the Big Ten and ACC at the top two most years now.zach24oz;1327245 wrote:The B1G may end up being the best bball conference...they have IU, OSU, UM, Mich St in the top 25 (the first 3 are in the top 5) and then Wisconsin is tough.

FSU won't be there long, but still a pretty good BB conference.sjmvsfscs08;1327258 wrote:No doubt that it'll be the Big Ten and ACC at the top two most years now.
Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, (eventually Connecticut or Cincinnati or Louisville), North Carolina State, Florida State... The ACC-Big Ten matchup should be awesome.

We were discussing this over the weekend, and the consensus was is that this is a very distinct possibility (much to Cinci's dismay). There really aren't a lot of options left out there for them.Pick6;1330544 wrote:Wouldnt mind them back in the MAC.
Yep..I mean I could see the ACC going after them if the conference gets raided some more. Maybe they will be content with staying in the Big East, though. However, what advantage would they have by staying? They will no longer be in an AQ. At this rate, the Big East is looking like it will end up being worse than the MAC. The question is, is all the extra travel worth keeping whatever dignity they have to make themselves feel better than a MAC program.vball10set;1330568 wrote:We were discussing this over the weekend, and the consensus was is that this is a very distinct possibility (much to Cinci's dismay).
