Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 16769, member: 225"] We have tremendous longterm rivalries in the Big East, among them South Florida, Louisville, Cincy, Marquette, Depaul, UConn football. Of course, only one of those schools is actually in the East but who cares? We've been playing these guys for decades. Oh wait a minute...no we haven't And you're not sold on BE instability? Really? How many of those 10 schools that approached the ACC are BE schools do you suppose? My guess is at least half. And what about the BE schools that have probably had back-channel discussions with the B10 and ACC? The BE is unstable precisely because there isn't a single one of the football schools that wouldn't leave if offered. Not one. That pretty much is the definition of instability I'm nostalgic about something that hasn't existed for a long time. For the current BE though? Not much there to be nostalgic about. [/QUOTE]
