The BE is desperate to keep their AQ status. They are at the point that they will ask anyone, regardless of geographic area, just to keep their conference an AQ for football.

They've already shown this to be true. I think the BYU invite also has a lot to do with getting a travel partner for Boise State.

BYU/Big East

[/quote/

They'll keep on until they find the seven strongest candidates that they believe will stay beyond the next contract in 2014.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Big East can be saved if they can only convince Notre Dame to join for football. There is a rumor that the Fighting Irish' contract either won't be renewed or the payout will be greatly diminished. They could get about anything within reason and have an easier path to a BCS bowl than what they have now.

I thought that BYU was a strong candidate for the Big XII but once they get in the Big East (if they do) they'll be hard to extricate.

The interesting questions is what will the Big East divisions be if they add BYU.

Would they really spit up Lville and Cincy into different divsion.

Big East

(East)

Navy, UCF, USF, UConn, Rutgers, Cincy

The plan is to have another West partner for Boise and BYU. That way Louisville and Cincinnati stay together in the East (where they belong). San Diego State is now all over the rumor mill. I'm glad that the Big East's western expansion allows SMU to go AQ, but now the conference might have a team on the Pacific Coast. So much for the word East :P

Please change the name.. it has to change. Any ideas?? We have been throwing some around but nothing sticks. I just find it insulting for schools in the West to play in the "BigEast".

I think they lose their basketball units if they change the name...so don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

The name does not have to change. You people are not thinking globally. The conference is looking to the future and the REALLY big east - that's right, the Orient, the Far East. You can't ignore the massive number of people that make up this possible new market. It will only take the Chinese a few weeks to reverse engineer a football team for one of the local universities.

      Morris signals it is over

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.
