LOL. This will be fun

[PhatOrange]

Don't they need 12 to be able to have a Championship game?

IMHO, it'll be Cincy and LVille.

Why would the ACC take Rutgers?

to help speed up the demise of the bmw and show/keep a spot for ND and get NYC territory (i didnt say market you freaks), and if need be still have a spot for storz for a nice north/south split.

pretty simple stuff.

Oh Lord

The ACC will never take a school that plays Division III hoops.

 

[OrangeMojo]

I haven't. Based on what info? I was under the impression that we would be BE at least until the new teams arrive which would be 2013.

I think you missed the word "not" in my post?

"I think everyone has pretty much accepted that SU/Pitt will not be playing in the ACC next season."

Greg Swaim, a pretty solid guy, just tweeted;

GSwaim BigTime TV/Radio

I'm told this morning by a conference source the 2012 #Big12 football schedule will be released within the month, and #WVU will be on it.

GSwaim BigTime TV/Radio

He also told me that the #Big12 taking #WVU and #TCU from the #BigEast "is just the beginning." #CardNation #Bearcats #Rutgers #USF #UConn

For those that don't read twitter, that does not mean the B12 will take all those BE teams but any more additions will likely come from that pool.

My guess is that the ACC schedule is being drawn up as we speak to include SU and Pitt. Do you really think the Big Least is going to launch 3 super expensive lawsuits at the same time?

No idea but I hope you are right.

The ACC already has 12 teams. I don't think that there's the sense of urgency that the Big 12 has in regard to having SU/Pitt included for next season. The ACC doesn't need to be seen as leaving the BE with too few teams on short notice to have a season. I Just don't see it. Hell, Pitt and SU should welcome the chance to have one more shot at a BCS bid in a WVU-less Big East in 2012.

True story

 

[TexanMark]

I don't...I think Cuse and Pitt need to play 2012-13 in the Big East. You have to allow the BE to get the newbies in for July 2013. This is about playing fair.

 

[SU2NASA]

I don't...I think Cuse and Pitt need to play 2012-13 in the Big East. You have to allow the BE to get the newbies in for July 2013. This is about playing fair.

If WVU leaves, to hell with the Big East, abandon ship.

 

[rrlbees]

Pfft. It is every man for himself. The BE didn't give 2 sheets about fair the past few years. They still don't by letting basketball schools determine the fate of others.

 

[TexanMark]

No way...no need to burn bridges. We might need to schedule a series with some of the leftovers in the future.

Would you like this if SU was a leftover in the BE and 3 schools bolting like the Colts outta Baltimore?

 

[KaiserUEO]

and theyve been doing so since the early 80s when gtown, seton hall and st johns voted to tell penn state to hit the bricks.

and then 1 year later doing a mea culpa and letting in pitt, in a blatent attempt to end any chance of a football driven all sports conf in the northeast.

em all.

Oh Lord

SU doesnt 'NEED' to do anything.

and i would hate it if was being done to my school, but its not.

its good to be the KING.

em all.

Why might we NEED to schedule a series with any of them. We could easily switch to Temple in Philly for a series. We will play Maryland in the DC area and will play BC in New England. Also we will be able to play in NYC anytime we want...against whomever we want. So I don't see the need to prolong the departure. Also, as a child my parents told me life isn't fair...as far as I know that still holds true. See ya Big East!

What leftovers? Football? There won't be any. Basketball? The Gtowns and SJU's would play SU in a NY minute. We mean more to them than they mean to us.

Not worth it. The BMW is no threat to the ACC, or even the SUNYAC. Or for that matter, even the Suburban Council. Rutgers is less appealing to any major conference than Sage or Skidmore. ND only has a few limited options and with their national brand stagnating if not diminishing, the larger Eastern metro markets make more sense for them than large land grants in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Nebraska.

Leave Rutgers- and UConn- out in the cold. And tell them to enjoy their rightful places in whatever conference Stony Brook, UNH, Binghamton, etc. are in.

 

[Scooch]

Gives a nice little regional 3some for WVU.

That's hawt!

A bridge implies that there is land on the other side.

Anyone would be more than happy to play us.

hey, if you can guarantee me your last paragraph, im ok with the ACC status quo.

the rest is spoken like a true-Capital District denizen, so i cant find fault.

You guys are all puffing up your chests...but reality is one more year in the BMW-FW to maintain a level of class for SU among peer institutions too much too as? Starting in July 2013 I fully expect Cuse to be ACC.

Like it or not UConn and Ruttie are peer institutions to the school's leadership.

In a word yes...it is too much to ask. Don't care about Rutgers...don't care about UCONN. I hope we never play either of them again in anything...especially Rutgers. This iteration of the Big East is a hollowed out shell of the one you're nostalgic for. No more please! ACC...2012!

We're not puffing our chests. We're trying to open our wallet faster and have them put money in it right away.

If you're getting an extra $8M (not sure the #) per year, would you rather start getting it right away or wait another year so your peers don't disrespect you. Your peers who would stab you in the back at a moment's notice I might add.

I didn't see anyone puff their chests, it was fact and reality. Seriously, who are we burning bridges with?

That extra $8M will be going right back to the BMW-FW in either payment to leave early or for damages.
