Revamped Big East

Pitino has certainly been the most positive voice in the BIG EAST camp. He speaks of aggresively pursuing teams that have value. Whether you like him or not, he is the only voice I hear, Everyone else just sit quietly by waiting for something to happen, good or bad. With W.Va. leaving, I think the final lines are beginning to form. Hopefully we can connect with the teams we are talking to. They would help a great deal in helping us to get all this jumping around in our rear view mirror. 
 
 everybody is putting down Marinatto, and he has been asleep at the wheel in the past but if he pulls this off, I have to give him credit. The BE was left for dead.

You give this clown (not you Fun) too much credit!

The Big East is now in the east, south, southwest, midwest, west and soon Guam. time to change the name to the Big America Conference or the Biggest F N Conference! I also would like a ban by the NCAA on allowing conferences to attach a number within its name!
The Big 12 is 10
The Big 10 is 12
Come on now college presidents! You should be embarrassed! At least add (give or take) next to the conference name!

maybe if marinatto stops pulling off and gets cracking, the big east can emerge as a better conference.
 
 Pitino has right idea. Look at remainning BE FB schools:
UCONN & Louisville add value to BB conference but will be gone within 3 momnths
So. Fla & RU add no value to BB conf
Cincy remainning FB school which adds value to BB conference
Commissinor must not add FB schools which add no value to BB side. B)

First of all, for Louisville and UCONN to go anywhere, someone will have to want them. At this point, no one does. Plus, if you can get the conference stabilized, raise the exit fee and retain the BCS status, then there is definitely a shot at keeping the thing together. However, I do agree, Memphis and Temple should both be added. If they can't get Temple in because of Villanova, they should still invite Memphis anyway.

Who, aside from nova, would vote against Temple.
 
I'm not digging SMU and UCF, because those are the schools that are standing between fans of Big East basketball and Memphis and Temple

Let's hope they see them as football cellar dwellars and vote yes.
 
Just wondering- given UCONN"S supposed academic woes, would the ACC or any other conference take them until(if) it is straightened out?

BYU
Houston
Louisville

18 teams, three divisions, 22-game regular season (10 home and home division games, six home/six away vs. other two divisions. Everyone plays each other at least once.)

And in football, while other bloated BCS conferences beat each other up, Boise goes 11-1/12-0 every year and either is in contention for championship game or has legitimate gripe that an undefeated team is being hosed.

I think ACC dream is dead. And if there was a Big 10 dream, that's dead, too.

Only concern I have is a 16-team Big 12.
 
 Though I love the balance 22 conference games is way too much.

I figured while other top teams were still in the middle of their OOC games against Southeast Westnorthern State University, we'd already be into conference games and getting good ratings. Plus we'd probably only get four patsies a year, because the other four OOC games would be against the likes of Duke and UCLA, etc.

But if it makes you happy, before submitting my plan to Marinatto I can change it to 16-game schedule, with each team playing three teams a year from the other two conferences. That way, those cowards at Villanova only see Temple every other year in the regular season.
