    Do you all think Big East makes a move if...

    If ND goes to the Big 10 and they stop and the PAC-10 holds off because they want to sort out the 'Baylor' thing, do you all think the Big East could proactively make a move to shore up its status?

    They are probably sweating this out probably hoping the changes are put on hold. Once that is established, do you think they will try to push to become 12 members in football?

    Nd leaving is the best case scenario for the be. They would add UCF and retain their aq status. Tech slips into cusa and everybody is happy (except Memphis).

    Yes, if the Big 11 only takes ND, the Pac 10 will go to plan B and do the Utah/Colorado thing. The BE will let out a huge sigh of relief and expand to 12 teams for football in order to prevent future raids and protect against losing their AQ status. They take the three from CUSA along with Temple (maybe, kind of...). That still opens up a spot for us. In addition, I think that Marshall goes back to the MAC to replace Temple. Of course this is just a big guess. I still think the nuclear scenario is more likely at this point.

    While I appreciate the arguments for Colorado/Utah to the PAC-10, BYU/Utah is also a solid choice and would give every school in the PAC-10 an in-state rival.
