Boise to BE a long shot; Holz says BE could emerge better

Don't know if this article has been posted, although it appears to have been written last night. I like the angles, though, especially the idea that the Big East may be better than ever after realignment.

"I think with the Big East, there are certain schools you can look at and add that would be better than the schools you lost," Holtz said. "East Carolina averages about 50,000 a game and has good facilities. Central Florida has a beautiful stadium on their campus and they pounded Boston College. You look at a Memphis, they have great facilities. It's in a large city, great TV market, great basketball program. If they can be a national power in basketball, they ought to be able to be a national power in football as well. … You look at those schools and you say they're not that good right now. But potentially, they're better than what [the Big East] has got. Yeah, the Big East can be stronger than ever."

The problem for the BE, is that they don't have a lot of time to wait for programs to develop. They need winners now in order to ensure they keep their BCS standing. I'd be curious to know what the metric is for BCS inclusion.

Its easy...Get east coast media behind you....get big tv contract from whoever and hire some excellent attorneys....

it will be very difficult to strip inclusion as long as WV, Uconn, rutgers, ect are involved...
