If the Big East loses its BCS football status, within 10 years, UConn and Villanova and Georgetown and St. John's will be Atlantic 10 schools.  They'll wind up merging with them, but keeping the Big East name.  But that conference probably gets bounced to a week earlier in the Garden, or to Brooklyn or Jersey, or Hartford, or maybe Philly.

As much as UConn is a power now, give them 10 years post Calhoun in a league without BCS football, and they won't be able to hold a good coach.  They are in the middle of nowhere, and play their football games how far from campus?  How big an asset with 9,000 seat Gampel be when the games are never against the top 20 anymore?

The guys in Providence wrecked the league by never understanding football.  Even Paul Freaking Tagliabue couldn't help that jamoke in Providence.

That's why the Big East is wheezing today.

And Nero Tweets "We'll have our tourney in Greensboro !"  Are you ED ????  THIS is our leader !!

And Boeheim makes the very good point, "what happens if other teams leave? What are you going to tell the replacement schools?  We'll have a place for you in a couple years?"  The guys has no clue whatsoever.  He needs to be recruiting new football teams NOW, not holding on to ones who are no longer in his league beyond next year.
