UCF will now be eligible for the Orange Bowl in 2013.

...the American Athletic Conference.

These guys broke down their brackets on the last half of the show. Both had a big east bias. One of the hosts is a featured expert on pickfactor.com http://smcradio.com/sports-syndicate-31813/

Wow. Catholic 7 leaving early and taking Big East name with them.

Looks like the inevitable happened. San Diego State is poised to announce later today or tomorrow that they're not joining the Big East and along with Boise State will be staying in the Mountain West dealing yet another blow to the Big East.

Happy holidays to all and Best Wishes for the New Year

This time it's supposedly UNLV, BYU, and Fresno St. on deck. Can we please just let this conference die with whatever shred of dignity it has left?

Geno's mad, and for good reason. He feels like UConn has been abandoned by its fellow Big East members and wishes they could leave immediately.

Leaders from the 7 remaining Big East basketball schools got together and decided to wait six months and see what sort of TV contract the Big East can land before they vote to split from the conference. Waiting is a good idea... no need to kill a conference with a hasty decision, only to find out a few months later it could have been saved.

According to the article, Big East schools might only get paid $60-$80 million per year... which is pretty much what Big East schools are getting paid right now - about $4 million per year. If Aresco can land $80 million per year, it might be a slight pay upgrade.
