I've had about enough.

OOOOOF.  All of this is making me laugh--no, GUFFAW--A LOT, at West Virginia.  Keep f***ing that chicken, Mountaineers!

Well, it is UL that wants the invite and they are putting on a full court press. The rats can't get out fast enough.

Just take both and BYU get the damn dominoes falling already.

48 hours before both have invites.  The sooner we realize that only the basketball schools will remain long term . . . wait, I meant to say longer than a week to ten days . . . the better off we are.  If they let in an East Carolina to the future BEast, just shoot me now.  Marquette and football rejects simply don't mix.

Meanwhile Slick Rick is trying to get Memphis and Temple into the Big East to help basketball...

Whether or not he still fights for the Big East by the end of the week or his school strips him of that, he's got a point.  Foolish of the basketball schools to add SMU, Houston, UCF, or ECU without looking out for their own interests, as the football schools have been doing and will continue to do.  At this point with a majority they need to go at least 50/50 with football on additions: if football wants SMU and Houston, force them to add Memphis and Temple, or really play hardball and demand Xavier as well.  If they refuse, it hurts them more than it does the basketball schools.
