It will happen eventually.   Need to hold on to the Big East name and it's tourney shares.

Nope. I'm content where we are until the football schools all bail. No need for us to break off, the Big East is and always has been a basketball league. Football may drive the bus, but in a world where football leagues are buses, we're riding in a train.

Actually, I don't want a basketball only conference anymore than I did during the first two threads that imbedded this link.

If you think this is news there's another thread where the interim Big East Commissioner is interviewed.

And the Basketball only conference idea and a more personal view of Marinatto's resignation was talked about here.

I prefer the hybrid model of the BEast that MU entered, littleMurs, but I don't see any other endgame.

I really don't see too much more movement for the football teams, except maybe one or two more going to the Big 12.  I think that the ACC will eventually regret going to 14 members at the behest of ESPN.
