Big East is thinking about a 32 team conference with 4 divisions.

What about non-football

Imagine non-football would play within their division. I guess the 4 division winners would have some type of playoff.

i don't feel like retyping what i wrote in another thread, but the BCS might be driving this idea. It solves some problems for them, and it keeps 96 D-1 teams viable, albeit stratified with a clear second-class, and allows the bowl system to survive. Dont underestimate them wanting to keep the bowl system alive.

I wonder where the document "obtained by the Globe" came from? Probably the author's kid. "Look daddy. I tooken many teams and mushed dem all together. Isn't their colors pretty?"

Forget the Big Money we were going to get from the Big East. This would s-u-c-k. Why do this now ? The Big East would not loose their BCS status anyway for a few more years if ever. They can always do this deal with the MWC and CUSA anytime in the future if need be . So why talk about it now ?
