Big East Done?

It sounds like TCU to Big 12 is pretty much a done deal. It also sounds like Missouri to SEC is pretty much going to be a done deal also. Rumors are swirling that Louisville, West Virginia, and South Florida or Cinncinatti could also be joining TCU. This would mean the Big East could be done and the schools could make their conference jumps immediately. I'm also guessing that the ACC would probably absorb Rutgers and UConn and go to 16

You're *obviously* wrong as no conference will *ever* go to 16 teams. Ever. Never.

Depends on if the ACC will add UConn & Rutgers. Otherwise there is a chance they could survive and look to take members from Conference USA for replacements.

As crazy as this sounds I think there is a chance they add Temple.

Re: Big East Done?

combine the big 12 and the big east and call them the big leftovers and be done with all this realignment.

I don't think so. Conference USA offers nothing and I know football is king but the Big East is still a well respected basketball conference.

IMO, the Big East will restock with Conference USA and whatever is left in Conf USA will merge into Mountain West.

Missouri's posing ... half the SEC has no interest in them, and Mizzou is still having wet dreams about the Big10

Ya those stupid hillbillys are going to come crawling back to the Big 12.

As much as I would love to say:




ISU and the Big 12 needs them.

Re: Big East Done?

Re: Big East Done?

Big East will live on as a basketball and other sports conference. The Jesuit schools don't like UCF, USF, Cincinnati, Louisville, East Carolina, Memphis, or even Notre Dame.
