"The Big East's seven, non-FBS schools met with Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco recently to discuss the possibility of leaving the conference to form a hoops-only league with other similar schools:
Sources said the New York meeting was the first among the seven schools (Marquette, DePaul, St. John's, Georgetown, Providence, Seton Hall and Villanova) and ultimately could lead to them splitting from the Big East's football members."

The seven schools – DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall and Villanova – are "close to a consensus on what they want to do next," a source said Wednesday.
The presidents of the seven schools are scheduled to conduct a teleconference with Big East commissioner Mike Aresco on Thursday and are expected to issue a statement on their schools' future in the next 24 to 48 hours.

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

How awesome would it be if we could be in a confrence together with FIU/UCF/USF.
The potential to grow for all three would be astronomical with 4 schools that close.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

FIU would think it was awesome if we were NOT in it.
And USF & UCF would probably HATE it!
Plus, I just don't see it happening.
NCAA does NOT = Logic
(The = with the slash trough it "does not equal" does not work on here?)

I dont see it happening, but it would be greats IMHO.
Who knows how this hand grenade will blow things apart.
It's probably time for MWC/CUSA/SBC/MAC/nBENF to sit down at a bar and break everyone up into regional/geographic mixes.
