Mike Aresco never should have tried for the 7th bowl. He should continue to lobby for the Big East to keep its spot in the Orange Bowl though! Big East >> ACC

ESPN did a great job of screwing the BE over. I am sure they have been pushing the people involved with this decision for a long time.. I really hope Aresco gets a great deal done with the other networks and shuts them out.

I can't see why this doesn't end in a law suit. There are more schools getting left out than included.

Six bowls is 'cleaner,' " a source said. "Each bowl would host four semifinals over the 12-year contract. A seventh bowl would be an appendage. It devalues the entire system and would cause major headaches."
In other words, we do not want to share any more of the money.

So now the Big East is in the "Group of Five." I guess the BCS figured out a way to have a have's and have not monetary divide.
