Message: [QUOTE="orangenirvana, post: 44236, member: 156"] Why do you think it's that unlikely? Mizzou has an offer from the SEC and very well could join any day now. The Big 12 wants to expand if that happens and word has it Louisville, Cinci and WVU are atop their list. Who else would they invite? ECU? Houston? The Big East programs trump all other options. Then - if the Big East is left with Rutgers, USF, and UConn, why would any school leave to join the Big East? At that point, why wouldn't USF or even UConn and Rutgers (if invited) take their best (and only) option and join the MWCUSA? You can't have a 3-team football conference. If UConn and Rutgers are then left hanging, then what else would they do? And I've made this point to you before...if the ACC wants Rutgers and/or UConn, then they will invite them whether they are part of a stable Big East conference or not. The ACC is not going to rescind the offer. Seems like a silly thing to worry about. [/QUOTE]
