Marquette Out of Big East?

[3Mer]

A West Virginia University blog is predicting Marquette will get kicked out of the Big East (along with a few other non-footbal members like DePaul and St. John's) when, as expected, the Big East expands with the additionals of Central Florida University and Memphis: http://hailwv.com/2010/06/17/big-east-on-offense/

absolute non-sense

I have as much inside information as that guy does and I predict that Conference USA will merge with the MAC.

It is all arbitrary, as the Mayans have predicted the end of the world in 2012

Hahahahahaha.

So they will kick out St. Johns and then still have the conference tourney at MSG?

Yeah right.

Hummm maybe they actually predicted the end of the college conference world in 2012...

Not sure SJU has much to do with the tournament being held there. The contract is between MSG L.P. and the BE Conference.

Does that guy even realize that St. Johns is a founding member of the Big East? lol



Either the conference stays as is, expands, or splits.

Nobody is getting "kicked out".

Correct. No one will get kicked out, but Marquette might get Creaned.

I realize that, but I'd think it would leave a fairly sour taste

+1, I don't see the Big East kicking out SJU and still playing in MSG for the tourney.

The Big East has cooled on Marquette.

I stopped reading right there.

The Big East has cooled on Marquette.

Really? You think so? I am seriously asking. I have no insider knowledge and was curious if there was some evidence of this that the public would be able to see.

He was being sarcastic.

I know if MU wanted to leave they would have to pay a penalty buyout. Without the conference disbanding can they kick you out without compensating you?

Was this meant for teal?  To cool on Depaul is one thing, given that they've won one conference game in two years, but get a grip if they'd cool on MU.

Not really. Eventually the football schools will separate from the hoops only teams. It is only a matter of time.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Marquette? The school that is in the top 10 in America in average attendance and has been in the big dance in every Big East season. What a joke!!

Kansas was close to being homeless. That should tell you something.

Is there a difference in the $$$ paid to teams by the BEAST depending on if they have a BEAST football team or not?

Some things are so obviously sarcastic they don't need teal.   (or so I thought...)

I'll join the question--as I dont know any answer here, and note like Big 12 orphans accomodated to keep their FB power schools happy-

-I wouldn't have any problem if MU did not share in or receive any BE football sourced income, bowl $, etc....we arent a part of it....why claim it or fight over it? If FB schools are keeping up the auto bcs status...let'em have the FB $.

[/quote I get you pont on Kansas. If you are going to kick 2 Big East BB schools, it's a joke that Marquette would be one of them.

[bma725]

That's not the point of the WVU story. If you are going to kick 2 Big East BB schools, it's a joke that Marquette would be one of them.

They wouldn't be making the decision based upon the quality of the program.  They'd do it based upon the fact that of the basketball only schools, we have the least time in the conference and don't provide the media market they want.
