ESPN is reporting that there may be high level talks between the leftovers of the two conferences about a possible merger. Obviously it doesn't involve us, but let the scrambling begin.
I totally agree with you jasjr.. please take UConn and WVU as they actually add something anything. Rutgers adds nothing and never has. Rutgers was just an expense for us in the BigEast and will be so going forward.
Unfortunately at this point, if UCONN, WVU, Rutgers and ND bail on the BE as well, there's no longer anything East about the FB members. It basically becomes a meld of former BE programs, Big 12, and conference USA/MWC additions.
