Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 61117, member: 430"] I don't see what's wrong with that. There is a distinct rift between the BB only schools and FB schools in the Big East, and there has been regardless of the teams in the conference. That isn't going to change. If the BE dropped FB, USF would go back to CUSA, along with L'ville and Cincy, and wait it out for a better opportunity. UCONN and Rutgers would have to then decide what's in their best interest - independence, or aligning with CUSA and doing the same as L'ville, Cincy, and USF. Everything that provided the BE football conference with BCS bid legitimacy is gone - namely Miami, VT, BC, Syracuse, Pitt, and WVU. I think some of the new adds are BCS worthy, but they don't replace what the conference lost, not by a longshot. [/QUOTE]
