Big East News

Post by 35straight »

Report out on CBS Sports that Maryland is headed to the Big 10/11. If this is the case Rutgers will follow. Looks like CUSA might turn out to be the tougher conference. Not sure after this year if we can compete in either league.

OMG, ESPN must of had a hand in this. Rutgers will be somewhat missed but I'm more worried who will go to the ACC.

Maryland can't get a winning record in the ACC. They will be an 0-11 team in the Big 10/11/12.

I am too. I'm tired of worrying about the BE. I don't care if the big conferences try to kill each other. I hope big 12 expands to 16 so we can join

Isn't this an attempt to destablize the ACC so Notre Dame doesn't end up there. They probably figure the Big 12 will finish the ACC off

If Rutgers leaves the BE will still be better than CUSA with FIU, UTSA, and UNT in it. Plus the BE will pay more money than CUSA.

Fsu would never change conferences unless Clemson and/or Miami come along.

If you are SMU, you better plan as if it isn't stopping anytime soon.

We now have a model for success, LB, we simply need to apply it to FB.

Question is, what are the odds the ACC would be interested in SMU? unfortunately, I don't think they are great.

Big East is a basketball conference FIRST, and always will be. Hope we can do our part

I'm just worried being in any conference other than the big 4, we will be doomed to irrelevancy.

Clemson and FSU have talked to the Big 12.
