Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 28703, member: 173"] I'll be 100% shocked if the Big East loses it's auto-BCS bid when Pitt and Syracuse leave. First because there's one BE championship between the two schools, so it's not like the perception exists that the powerhouse programs are leaving, which was one of the issues in 2003. Second because supposedly there's a reluctance amongst the college presidents and ADs to be seen as killing off a conference, and it's pretty obvious that losing the auto-bid is the death blow to the Big East. I suspect the media dummies will still harp on the idea, but it's not going to happen. The Rutgers game is big because we need to get back to treating them like a redheaded step-child, which will help us get back to recruiting at the level we did 20 years ago. [/QUOTE]
