they should, get to 12 with Mizzu, if they leave which they most likely will, one last call to BYU, if not Cinci...
Rutgers and UCONN can suck it. ND is on the clock and then the chips can fall where they may.
Yup, Irish alums/fans are few and far between in texas, oklahoma compared to in the Great Lakes and east coast.No way ND goes to the Big 12...it is B10 or ACC.

So if the BE is down to UConn, Rutgirls, Cincy and USF...what happens?
11 makes sense...as it leaves a spot for ND

Why is no one talking about them forming a new conference? Yes, they'd lose their BCS bid, but that may be the only way to get something even remotely stable.
UConn
Cincinnati
Rutgers
Temple
South Florida
Central Florida
Memphis
Houston
SMU
East Carolina
GLORY BE TO GOD! PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
I have a great name for the new conference: C-USA
Actually it would be a great conference...it reminds me of a slightly better C-USA in the early 00's. Still short of BCS quality but the winner goes undefeated should get the Boise Bid.
novel and out of the box idea...good thinking...nearly forgot about that $100,000,000.What the Big East should do BEFORE anybody else leaves is add Memphis and the $100 million the head honcho at FedEx said he'd give to the BCS conference that added the Tigers. Then give the money to one of the following schools to join the BE in ALL sports for the next 5 to 10 years: ND, Texas, Oklahoma, FSU, Florida, LSU, Alabama. The BE needs a football power in the worst way, gotta make a bold move.
I'd also give $1 million each to the 7 BE basketball schools just to shut 'em up.

I think they add them both and this whole thing was a ploy to create a new Big 12 rivalry. When Mizzou leaves, they bring on Cincy. Create a little 3 team region.
When they get to 12, I wonder if they'll put Texas and OU in different divisions and have them be a crossover game.
I believe their preference would be for OU and Texas to be in the same division. That way they'd only meet once and the loser of the Red River Shootout could still limp into a BCS berth at 11-1.If they go to 12 I think the best thing for both Texas and OU would be divisions set up by cross over rivalries.
