it is to the point where some of them are almost tearing each others throats out and "eating their young."
understandably, you have rutgers fans who are of course "tickled to death" in their feeling that they may have an "inside edge" on gaining big ten conference membership per the chicago tribune articles below which came out early last week.

some rutgers fans are reveling in the apparent misery of some of their conference brethren - most notably pitt, syracuse.
meanwhile, you have fans on the pitt, syracuse, etc. message boards who are either completely pissed at rutgers (most likely due to jealousy) or are now showing their total disdain for the big east conference and its future direction and searching for ways to get out of the big east quickly.
anyways, just thought i would mention this bit of big ten conference "related" news. to be honest, it is almost kind of "sad" in a weird way what the process of possible big ten expansion is doing "mentally" to some of these big east fans. has to be a tough spot for the schools who will be left behind and what it will likely mean for the big east conference (especially football) as a whole.
