Big East is apparently also considering a name change... front runner apparently is the Significanlty Small Northwest Eastern FCS/FBS Hybrid Conference. You know it's over when the WAC has an more impressive lineup.

Big Least?
Wait a second we have a new contender to the SEC.
Try and guess the school first before clicking this link or looking at the URL.
I will give you a hint. Free Throws? We don't need to practice no stinking Free Throws.
That's old. They've, supposedly, been the "Big Least" since the ACC stole away BC, Virginia Tech, and Miami, yet, WVU has had some of the best success by a school EVER in the past 7 or 8 years, while the ACC has done jack shit. Funny how that works out, eh? ;)Quote:

Deal is done. TCU back where they belong.
They gonna finally stay there? Jesus, they wouldn't just find a spot and stay. A shame they jumped already. The Big East should have fucked them with exit fees for this bullshit.
I believe they still have to pay the Big East $5M.Quote:

Looks like we shall see UCF in the Big East. Quality pickup there.
I like it. Hopefully a good move for both.Quote:

Houston
Air Force
SMU
While the travel would definitely suck, I wouldn't be horribly against that setup.
Do these schools not consider all sports when making these decisions? Do they really want to travel cross country for soccer, volleyball, track and field, softball, baseball etc? Sure, football brings in the big bucks but all of the smaller sports bring little to any money from what i've been reading.
Only way for that to happen, is if Air Force and Navy are guaranteed a game every single year. Otherwise, no way in hell. The Commander-in-Chief's trophy is the most important thing about all for the academies, at least for Navy. The CIC is more important than a winning season, more important than a bowl game, more important than anything. Unless that game was set in stone every season, Navy would never agree.
Air Force and Navy would be Football only. Possibly the same with Houston and SMU. Would make sense.Quote:

No way would Navy join the Big East, with Air Force in a different division, without a guarantee that they will play every year in a cross-conference game for CIC play purposes.Quote:
