Yep, this is "best player available" time at the Big East member draft.

It also drives me a little crazy. The BE *only* does things in desperation. Not that I think anything they will do, or could have done, would ultimately make the conference stable. Certainly not stable to the point where any member wouldn't bolt to one of the 5 other BCS leagues. But at least they could have[I] tried[/I]. If they're prepared to form a national football conference now, why wouldn't they do it a year ago, when it could have been bold and proactive instead of desperate and reactive?

What if when they added TCU they also added Boise State, BYU and Air Force for football? At the very least they would have gotten an even bigger media offer, and protected their BCS AQ status for years. Of course SU, Pitt & WVU still would have left if offered, but maybe maybe things go down somewhat differently if the BE was proactively making moves in the summer/fall of 2010?
