I think Dawg06 is too pessimistic about LaTech's and USM's chances of getting in. If the Big East loses Boise State, the conference won't want to be left completely behind the MWC in terms of...

You are correct that the 7-member requirement is there (the Big East has no problem there). I was referring to the continuity requirement (where the Big East might have a problem, if it were still in...

I'll have to check the rule changes from a couple years back but I don't think that rule applies to existing conferences anymore. I think that was changed for the WAC's benefit.

Here's an important bit from Don's link:

Because those schools won't be members until next summer, the majority of the voting members of the Big East are basketball schools right now. Still,...

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the basketball schools will be starting a new league. It doesn't look like they're going to be taking the name with them and - if this is accurate - the...

Remember when they were mentioned for the Big 12 opening? I doubt that'll happen next time even as a vague, distant possibility.

It's not really their fault, though. They were offered an...

I think the ACC becomes a possibility for us if they lose enough members (the Big 18 Scenario), or the Big 12. Of course, that ACC would look a lot like the Big East past, present, and future. But...

That makes sense in the same way that it made sense to a lot of people thought "LaTech to the Sun Belt" made sense a few years ago. When C*USA invited UNT, UTSA, FIU, and FAU, they made the...

I don't think they're as averse to adding an autobid likely to be filled by Temple or Marquette than they are one to be filled by New Jersey Tech. Beyond which, they have more play-ins now than they...

Whatever the rules are pertaining to their credits, I don't really see a scenario where dissolution improves their odds over splitting. I read somewhere that they're golden either way because they've...

I expect an announcement in the next day or two. I expect it to be more vague than that, though, with regard to dissolution, split, or whatever. There are a lot of things the Catholic schools don't...

If they really didn't do any diligence our seek consensus on Tulane, I think Aresco may unseat Bensen as the worst commissioner in college sports. To add marginal value to the TV contract he killed...

Okay, I finally found the much-vaunted barriers. It essentially says that you don't get AQ into any of the playoff structures, don't get grant money, and don't get to vote as a conference until such...

Only if, after their cry, the remaining schools don't go forward with a new conference and start raiding C*USA again.

To be honest, there comes a point where I think you just let them go. I feel relatively confident that a conference dissolving would not actually result in everyone scrambling to find a home (see...
