Conference Realignment: UConn & Rutgers Did Not Pledge Allegiance To The Big East
Following last night's meeting in New York City that involved the presidents and athletic directors of the Big East's football schools, commissioner John Marinatto (by the way, a great parody Twitter account has surfaced) told the media that the representatives from each school pledged loyalty to...
Conference Realignment: Jim Boeheim, Tim Pernetti on WFAN Radio
More Big East representatives commented on the conference re-alignment saga today, with both Syacuse head coach Jim Boeheim and Rutgers AD Tim Pernetti joining Mike Francesa on WFAN. The views expressed by each were quite similar and are outlined below. -This type of shakeup has been coming for...
Conference Expansion: Villanova's Best & Worse Case Scenarios
If you don't know about all of this by now, it's time to wake up. On Friday night, rumours broke that Syracuse and Pittsburgh had applied for ACC membership. That news was confirmed on Saturday as we engrossed ourselves in college football. And on Sunday morning, the mayhem was complete when it was...
Big East Basketball-Only Schools Schedule Teleconference, Villanova Participating
According to Dick Weiss in the New York Post, the Big East "basketball-only" schools have scheduled a teleconference call for today to discuss the future of the Big East and what it will mean for them. Clearly, Big East expansion has been driven by the "football schools" and schools such as...
Big 12 Conference Dissolution – Where Each Team Would Go
With confirmation by Texas governor Rick Perry that the Texas A&M Aggies are exploring the possibility of moving to the SEC, it is once again time to look at the ripple effect of what a move like that would have. If the Aggies do move on, that will leave nine schools left in the less-than-aptly...
The New Math: The Day 10 Equals 12 - Or The Day Nebraska Finally Pushed the Big Ten to 12 Teams
Hard to believe it was a little over a year ago that this happened: The Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) announced unanimous approval today for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) to join the Big Ten Conference effective July 1, 2011, with competition to begin in all sports...
The Big East Has Not Been Saved
When Dan Beebe improbably kept the Big 12 together earlier this week, the popular opinion was that the Big East had been rescued. With the Pac-10 unable to expand to 16, and with the SEC unable to get Texas A&M, and with everyone unable to get Texas, the super-conferences had died. Big East...
Expansion and USF - Where Are We At Right Now?
There's still a lot of waiting for Bulls fans until we find out how (or if) this round of college expansion/realignment will affect USF. I have to say, though, I don't have a real good feeling about how everything has gone down so far. The biggest problem I see so far is that only the Pac-10 seems...
Conference Realignmentageddon: SBN Links To Follow The Insanity
If you haven't noticed, I've been strangely quiet on the seismic shift in the intercollegiate landscape that is happening right before our eyes. This is primarily because football is the driving factor (and basketball and the non-revenue sports are barely getting a passing mention at this point)...
Comparing the Big 10 and Pac-10 Expansion Process to Characters From "Spaceballs"
(Hopefully you know what Spaceballs is before getting started here. If not, I suggest IMDb.) I started comparing conference expansion to the movie Spaceballs when I said that everyone expanding to 16 teams would be "going to plaid." Then I said the Pac-10 presidents authorizing expansion was like...
