What does Paterno have anything to do with this?

Katz really annoys me. It's as if he's made it a personal goal of his to keep SMU and Houston out of the BE.

It's almost as if he's a basketball guy who thinks the Big East should return to a basketball-centric conference. Shocking.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino is actively lobbying the Big East Conference and its member schools to add Memphis and Temple for basketball, regardless of whether the Big East adds Central Florida, Houston or SMU.

Seems like a fair compromise to me. SMU and UCF are far from being basketball powerhouses. Appease the football schools, appease the basketball schools, and increase a sense of solidarity in a sinking boat to rectify the conference.

Just so they don't take our spot.

Does Pitino commit Louisville to stay in the BE if that is done? Why do we care what he says when they are on the verge of moving to the Big 12?

pitino doesn't want to go to the B12.

But the question is whether he has the power to keep it from happening.
