Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 639601, member: 628"] The other way things could have played out, after PSU announced their plans to join the Big Ten, was an all-sports league made up of remaining eastern and southern independents & Metro Conference schools. So that would have been the 8 schools of the original BEFC along with FSU, Louisville, Cincy and a few others. I have to dig up the old story about it, but IIRC it was pitched by Jefferson-Pilot who saw a big east coast league in major media markets with premium brand programs. Which is all to say, the demise of the Big East in its hybrid form was decades in the making. [/QUOTE]
