    Big East Commissioner Resigns

    Sources: Big East commish resigns

    "A source said Marinatto's exit has been building for weeks. The source said the basketball members in the Big East were upset that they had no say in the expansion process."

    "Marinatto also wanted to accept a TV deal a year ago but was shot down by a 12-4 vote with Georgetown leading the charge not to accept."

    "In addition, Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich was a close confident of Marinatto and his pending departure had pushed the Cardinals to further consider the Big 12 if they can get an invitation from the current 10-team league, a source said."

    I see this resulting in a return of Boise St and SD State to the MWC as well as a return of SMU and Houston to CUSA.

    UCF, ECU, and Marshall will probably be in the non-AQ Eastern conference that forms after the implosion of the Big East.

    Man, the BE is REALLY unstable - and definitely a BB-first conference.

    It's a huge mess. I don't think they will survive the next round of expansion.

    If SMU and Houston return, I guess we go to the East division.

    I would love for both to return but it would take an absolute collapse of the nBE.

    Fascinating that the 32 team mega-conference that was talked about briefly last year might come back on the table.

    It really could. I loved that idea in the first place. The non-football teams in the Big East need to just form a new BB league.

    Re: Big East Commissioner Resigns

    It's going to remain a uniquely dicey situation unless a split occurs. The "lack of say in the expansion process" that the BB schools are complaining about prevented that from happening. The resulting additions of Temple and Memphis make it so that the football members can stand pretty strongly on their own in basketball. It's mostly a matter of the credits and tourney money, sprinkled with some uncertainty about future invitations to other conferences for some of the members. The initial expansion to 12 made it sound like the separation was imminent and likely to be relatively amicable. This makes it seem like that is not the case.
    University of Houston '01. Any references to "we" or "us" likely refer to UH. Cheers!

    Its a good opportunity for Branowski and Thompson to get together with future TV partners and cobble numbers for what it would be like if Houston, SMU, Boise, and SDSU came back to the fold and bring it to those presidents.

    If that happened at this point I could see the other stable conferences giving more respect to C-USA and the MWC than they do the BE.

    The BE and the word leadership should not be used in the same sentence. The basketball only schools have driven the bus off the cliff.

    We (CUSA) should let SMU, UCF & Houston return, but tell Memphis to go to hell.

    IA, but Memphis probably would be invited back for their basketball
