Perhaps the BE will end up as a BB conference, much like it started.

Like the ACC, the Big East will continue to be a conference whose revenue stream is driven more by bball than fball. I'm sure Louisville, a school whose profitable athletic dept is driven by hoops, fully appreciates that fact and that's why I think they'll jump at a Big East invite rather than staying in CUSA in hopes that group might earn a BCS bid. Never underestimate the power of that northeastern media. There's still a lot of TCU (and CUSA) folks who don't seem to understand that.
