The WAC and Conference USA are a hot mess. They should make some trades and at least get some kind of East-West split. Also, what's an Incarnate Word?

 

[SelectionSunday]

. ... Also, what's an Incarnate Word?

Whatver it is, I hope they're not on our schedule next season. Ditto for UMass-Lowell.

 

[sunnyday2]

The Big East is hotter and messier. What a joke. Their mission must say that "we shall be the biggest conference no matter what." Oh, and the most ego driven. Some mission.

 

[#1nHkyCfbBsbDncSolarDebat]

So we don't get Maryland and Rutgers until the year after next, eh?! Interesting. I thought that we got them next year?! Well, in that case, my guess is that more change is yet to come before the year is over. I bet we get 2 more teams that would both start same time as Maryland and Rutgers.

I like to refer to the Big East as "The Big Easy To Get Into". Accepting Tulane (in 2014-15) tells me all I need to know about the Big East.

It'll still be a good hoops conference in 2013-14, but it's quite sad what Big East basketball is going to become once the Catholic 7 move along to form their own league.

We only need one more. NJIT is available.

The Big East will be worse than the Big Least soon. Losing the Catholic 7 won't hurt as much as when they lose Cincy to the Big 12 and UConn may go along with them. Not the most natural fit snagging UConn, but there won't be too many better teams left for them to nab.

 

[Dr.Don]

This whole spread the wealth thing in College Sports is getting too confusing. Let's just play the old college game of throwing room keys into a pile and pull one out and take her home. Of course, with #1Alphabet's luck he would win this prize:

Too Funny

What I like best about this is the Big 10 will have 12 teams and the Big 12 will have 10 teams.

Dr Don?! Sorry to disappoint you, but I already got me a gf. She's a looker, too.
