    Whatcha Think? Re: Another thought on the Big East/MWC saga?

    It was previously reported - when the football schools left - that though Temple is a voting member in some respects, for some reason that didn't apply to dissolution. Of course, it was also reported...

    Whatcha Think? Re: Another thought on the Big East/MWC saga?

    As long as UH and SMU are in the conference, I have to think your chances are much, much better than Rice's. I wouldn't be worried about Tulane, I don't think they'll have the pull, though if Memphis...

    Whatcha Think? Re: Another thought on the Big East/MWC saga?

    I am tempted to say that UH and SMU leaving - along with Tulsa being taken off the table - might be the last straw, but I think I would be falling into the trap of supposing what other schools will...

    Whatcha Think? Re: Another thought on the Big East/MWC saga?

    As mentioned, Houston doesn't even get a vote yet. That'll come later this year, when we are actual members. We may have soft influence, threatening to leave for the MWC and such, but it's appearing...

    Whatcha Think? Re: Another thought on the Big East/MWC saga?

    I think a ND-like arrangement with BYU would be wise, but I don't think the conference will do it. Too stubborn.

    I can't figure out why the ECU invite hasn't happened yet. I'm afraid the...

    Whatcha Think? Re: Another thought on the Big East/MWC saga?

    No slight intended. I've said before that I am more bullish on LaTech's odds on getting into the Big East than Dawg06 is. I wouldn't mind LaTech being a part of the group going to the MWC, but I...

    Whatcha Think? Re: Another thought on the Big East/MWC saga?

    I think the basis of this speculation, that the MWC has an upper hand is possibly true. I think the relative lack of pull the Big East has vis-a-vis the MWC is most likely true. Even if Boise State...
