I appreciate being in the Big 12 and enjoy playing competitive teams almost every week in football and basketball, however the geography is just too much to overcome. We need rivalries that are close in proximity. What kills me the most about the new conference alignment is how is took away all of our great ones. Pitt, VT, Louisville, Penn St, exct exct THESE ARE WHO WE SHOULD BE SHARING A CONFERENCE WITH OR AT THE VERY LEAST PLAYING ANNUALLY.

Big East North
1.) WVU
2.) Penn St
3.) Pitt
4.) Syracuse
5.) Rutgers
6.) UConn


Big East South
1.) Virginia Tech
2.) Louisville
3.) Kentucky
4.) Cincinnati
5.) East Carolina
6.) Memphis


+Georgetown and Villanova for a 14 team basketball conference.


We would have a good, competitive football conference (especially once Beamer leaves VT and Franklin turns around PSU) and a GREAT basketball conference (UK, Louisville, UConn, Syracuse, Memphis, Villanova, exct?!?!)

START A MOVEMENT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. WE NEED A CZAR.[/B]

Nice to dream, but ...

As of now and for the foreseeable future that is all but impossible. While dreaming I recommend ditching Connecticut, Memphis, and ECU.

I love posts like this

They remind me that even as screwed up as I happen to be in this best of all worlds, I'm in significantly better condition than some.

We need a few minnows for football, thus UConn and Memphis. However, both of those schools have great bball programs so they balance out in the end.


ECU is a sleeping giant. Big fan base, fertile recruiting area, underrated stadium, ...all they need is the golden ticket to a major conference.

I think you should be JohnnyNUTS. It is impossible. ECU isn't a sleeping giant...just sleeping. We don't need cream puffs on the schedule. We need to get better on all FOUR sides of the ball (that would be offense, defense, special teams and coaching).

Lmao! Hilarious. I'm sure Penn State is salivating at this genius proposal to leave the most stable, highest earning Big 10 conference for a new Big East guided by the clueless and inept Providence leadership. And Kentucky would love to leave the greatest athletic conference (SEC)in America to join as well. Great idea! And ECU a sleeping giant? Lmao! By far, the post of the day. Congrats!

The new pied piper of our idiot board.

That conference couldn't last 3 years before falling apart. Geography hasn't been a problem at all IMO in the B12. You are going to give up playing Texas, KSU, Oklahoma, and TCU for Rutgers, Syracuse, Pitt, and UConn - Please. Fans are not interested in old Big East Rivalries.

Would it still be worth playing those teams if our income was cut from 25-30 million a year to 10-15 million a year ? Because that's exactly what would happen. No thanks.

as well as the right to give 6 months notice to leave when everyone else has to give 27 months.
