    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?

    But, yes, for the love of god, WVU, get the fuck out of the Big East ASAP.

    "We Believe" we deserve to get our asses handed to us in the SEC?

    Pfft, fuck them. Their football team is worse than Missouri, and that's saying something since Missouri hasn't been relevant in football since the old Big Eight conference.

    I just hope WVU escapes to the SEC. There aren't many good football schools left in the Big East and it would suck if they got stuck there. Adding BYU and Louisville to the Big 12 would be interesting.

    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.

    They better have to. Sure, the Big 12 makes more sense geographically for them, but to go and join the Big East, then only a couple months later say a big "FU" to the conference and leave for a different one, I'd make them pay out the ass for that bullshit if I was the commissioner.

    Yeah I'm 99% sure they have to pay that amount.

    Deal is done. TCU back where they belong.
    I like it. Hopefully a good move for both.

    Are you being sarcastic? (I ask because I can't tell)

    Reports are that the Big East is going to look like this, if no one else leaves the conference:

    East

    Navy
    Temple
    UCF
    USF
    Rutgers
    Connecticut

    West

    WVU
    Cincinnati
    Louisville
    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.

    I'm sure they will have cross conference rivalries set in stone. You would think they would have to for them to get Air Force and Navy.

    For that setup, with the two in opposite divisions, they pretty much would have to. Navy's AD, Niumatalolo, and others have said in interviews in recent weeks, with all the swirling rumors about Navy and the Big East, that the CIC is their most important goal, above all others. 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.
