Big East will look to add another member by 2015 to make two 7-team divisions in football. Likely a Western partner, according to Marinatto.

"We're gonna kick Notre Dame's butt next year," said Lewis Katz, chairman of Temple's athletic committee, who was so geeked that he neglected to realize the schools don't meet until 2014."

Lol

Gee, I hope not. Looking forward to one more year in the BE.

I don't know, I think this season was a pretty good FU tour of the Big East (in bball at least). Might as well go out on top if we can.

How is this not bigger news.

Seems like a big deal to me.

It doesn't deal with drugs or someones life being ruined.

Talk about a poorly written headline.

It reads "Syracuse, Pitt might be able to bolt Big East by summer", yet all the text and referenced articles merely mention Syracuse & Pitt leaving a year earlier than required... as in "by summer of 2013".

That explains it.

This really isn't news, we all pretty much assumed it the whole time.

Yeah... I don't see this as a big deal at all. According to the linked articles we will be in Big East for football and hoops next season? Why is that news?

 

[shermstheman]

I love the BE but I hate beng in limbo. This is good news. Going out on top.

Wondering if with all the BE moves and additions if UConn can now get out. Wonder if they still want to?

 

[iommi]

Wait...does this mean we will play football next season in Big East but hoops in ACC? It is very vague.

The article has been corrected.

We're not leaving the BE for one more full season.

We'll be joining the ACC for the 2013-14 season.
