Now even the non-football schools are bolting the Big East...

As we have all said, the Big East is finished. Syracuse and Pitt were the death blow. WVU was a final nail in the coffin. ND is dirt on the grave.

I read that they would be looking at leaving if the new contract isn't sufficient. Is there more to this story now?

Do the basketball schools break off and raid the Atlantic 10 of some Catholic schools?

Georgetown
Villanova
St. John's
DePaul
Marquette
Seton Hall
Providence

That would be a totally watchable league...in a kinda interesting cuz it is different way. The Catholics might consider adding Creighton and Butler and call it a day. Try to be considered the best non Big 5 conference.

I read they were going to join the Big 10.

No. They don't need to break off. They wait for all the football schools to join other conferences and then pick up some of those you noted.

Could add dusquene, george mason and or old dominion to. maybe even Siena could be an option. That would be a heck of a conference

That makes a lot more sense than the cluster**** that the Big East has become. It would be a fine basketball league with significant presence in March.

I just don't get it though? Didn't the Big East's new commissioner just recently say that with the new additions the conference has never been better! :bat:
