We can be the Texas of our new conference and run everything!!!!!
I like it but let's bounce Morningside and add Wayne State or go to 12 and also add UNK.
The thing is, with that size of conference you really dont have to change the structure all that much, depending how you structure it. We could play a conference schedule consisting of our half and one from the other side. Itd basically be 2 conferences (just called divisions) with a 'challenge' game, but flying under the same banner so you can negotiate better tv and bowl deals.
I agree with you there. The ideal conference to me is a group of 10 peer universities in a geographic area that allows fans to be able to drive to most games. But with TV that'll never happen.
Yes, given that TV is dominating everything in realignment, adding more windows for game-times seems like a terribly stupid idea.
By the way, is Louisville joining anytime soon?
Looks like the Catholic 7 may form quicker than 14-15. Sounds like a 10 team conference with Butler and Xavier joining the 7 and either St. louis, Dayton or Creighton as the 10th team

Catholic 7 schools to keep 'Big East' name for new league next season, according to sources - ESPN
Crazy. Sounds like this is Fox's baby. I wonder when ESPN and NBC will create their own conference? It's all about the $$$$$ ... but we knew that already. That thought kind of scares me...
Fox also owns 49.9% of the Big Ten Network. Which basically means they own half the Big Ten.
How about this...KU and Mizzou discussed by Big 10 according to our friend mhver3. That would really put us on an island.
Remember, this is the same state that couldn't decide if they were a confederate or union state.
Truth.
The WVU 'insiders' dont know ****.
I do love mhver3 in particular trying to take credit for calling some of the stuff re: the catholic 7 this week though. "i told you guys they would leave and they would invite these teams"... well yeah, but anyone speculating made those exact same guesses.
I just dont understand why ND wouldn't want to stay in the "new big east" they wouldnt have to worry about a conference wanting them in Football
