Uh, yes. In the long term, this is terribly damaging to Georgetown. But, heck, in the short-term, we get to play at SMU soon. Yeah!!!

Lots of Louisville chatter today. I guess it's nothing new but they have admitted they would like to go to the B12 or ACC. But thats only half the relationship. The B12 or ACC also has to want L'Ville also.

Forget Boise State and SDSU and focus on solidifying the BE east schools that are already present. The BCS changed the equation with plans to eliminate automatic qualifiers. BSU does not need to play in the BE to have a shot at the BCS playoff. They may actually be better off dominating the MWC and playing a few name opponents--as they do now-- than trying to go undefeated in the BE with substantial travel requirements and no logical place for their other sports teams. SDSU, much as it hurts my neighbors to hear, adds absolutely nothing to the BE other than a game on the schedule. They do not have a storied football tradition and probably right now are not as good as UCF, Houston and SMU. They may not even be as good as Temple.

it is been reported by cbssports boise st may not come to big east. if they do not come,big east likely will not get a bcs bid in football?and the football as a con may be finished,what this would do to bball for gtown still yet to be determend.it is looking worst,and worst for the big east.football is about done,and with loosing cuse,wva,pitt,i think the bball may be about done to.espn is the main reason pitt,cuse,wva,has left,the new deal they just signed with acc.they wanted acc to be best bball con and adding cuse and pitt did it.and they wont to break up big east.
go hoyas!!!

Time for leadership to focus its energies on making the worst outcome possible better.

Time for leadership to focus its energies on making the worst outcome possible better. A basketball conference without Louisville, UConn, Cincy, and now Memphis and Temple, is not better, by the way.

Well, this is about to get ugly. There really is no reason for BSU to be in the Big East if there are no more AQ conferences. Same goes for SDSU. If 12 is an absolute must for the BE then looking at more CUSA schools is the only real option. Right now, the only thing that matters is the TV contract so add the best available CUSA fball teams and get on with the dilution of the basketball side of things.

Why wouldn't we have Memphis and Temple—two schools typically lumped into the category of "basketball" schools?

That's a decision that would have to be made, a basketball-only conference or a basketball-first conference. If we lose all our "marquee" football programs, do/can you force the rest out? on edit: I think if you can just hold things together through the TV negotiations and schools see how much money they're going to make, everyone will feel a lot better.

How much does a network pay for football games in a conference that don't include BSU, SDSU, Lville, Cincy, etc? Does NBC want to build programming around USF vs. Memphis and Rutgers vs. Temple? I'd imagine propping up the football side of the conference becomes counterproductive at some point.

It's obvious that Boise's decision to join the BE was a premature decision. Most of those outside of the BE had a SMH reaction. I doubt that Louisville, Rutgers, Cincy, UConn and possibly others want to be perceived as a BB only program. IMO the BE is not as proactive as it could/should be in approaching other BB only schools to join the BE. Other so-called mid-level schools are extremely active in maintaining their existance.

This would be much easier for us if we had a D1 football team, I still want to stay in the big east though.

Pitt leaving is what caused TCU to "de commit" and WVU to want to leave earlier.

BSU just needs help from the Big East and it member schools. The league they had targeted for the Olympic sports (WAC) has crumbled. The money in the new Big East will make the move by BSU to the Big East worthwhile over the MWC.....
But not having a suitable home for the Olympic sports jeopardizes the deals. I believe the current hope is that the Big West will include them, but that resolution may require basketball scheduling concessions from the Big East conference to sweeten the deal.

The threat of losing Louisville and more could also cause BSU and SDSU to rethink as well. With today's announcement that FSU would consider tHe Big 12, the entire conference realignment is in play again.

If the Big 12 can get FSU and possibly another ACC team (Miami, Clemson) there is no way they have any interest in Louisville.
