    Nobody's gong to invite Cincinnati FOOTBALL to anything. Just dumb.
    In what way are they so different from Louisville that they are interested in UL but not UC? That's the part that confuses me. I can understand preferring UL over UC (despite the latter's better performance, as of late), but to say "We want this one" and "We want nothing to do with that one" is just weird to me. Cincinnati has won 10 or more games in four of the six seasons they have been in the Big East while Louisville hasn't won more than 7 since Petrino left. Louisville has better basketball, but Cincinnati also has good basketball. Louisville does have better attendance. I don't see the night-and-day difference here that the Big 12 does. "Hey, let's take Louisville!" followed by "Cincinnati?! What's Rutgers up to?" doesn't track.

    Nippert only seats 35K. But it is a nice stadium.

    Yeah, but they can play (and do sometimes) pay at the pro stadium when it suits them. If the Big 12 required for a stadium expansion, I'd think that they'd get it. But even if they did, it's possible that attendance would stay the same. Then again, against Big 12 opponents (hosting UT or OU every other year, Texas Tech and OSU every other year), it could go up considerably if they can remain competitive. I don't know what the thoughts are of Cincinnati folks when it comes to Kansas vs Rutgers.

    I'm not - the last thing the yankee basketball schools now in control of the BE want are two southern football schools...

    Daayum......You rolled right from one worry (will LA Tech get into CUSA?) right into another (nervous about losing USM & ECU). Do you EVER just relax and enjoy the moment?

    That's a valid concern, Chuck. But, we at Louisiana Tech really need to change our way of thinking. Instead of thinking that conference realignment is over, we need to start preparing for the next shakeup...because it's coming sometime. The last thing we want is to be sitting here a decade from now with the same concerns that we have had for the last several years.

    I'm sure some who read this will think I'm an idiot for saying it, but we need to start building RIGHT NOW toward the next best thing, whatever that is. I believe that Tech still has a chance to make it to a bigtime conference, but it takes a lot of work, vision, and money.

    Re: Big East Commissioner Resigns

    Actually there is alot of speculation out there that the composition of the D-1 conferences at 7/1/2013 will be the composition for the next 15 to 20 years with VERY little movement...

    The next TV deal for the BCS (or whatever will be called) is rumored to be for a length of 10 years -

    And that's why it was imperative that we be included in the shake up this time
