..but assuming the Big XII stays together, does that not leave them with 9 teams? As a result, are they not going to have to expand to 12 just to maintain their conference championship game/keep up with the Jones's. And it doesn't it stand to reason that at least two if not all three of those teams will be from the BE (WVU, Ville, Cinci, TCU)?
I actually think the next week could end up getting pretty rocky for everyone, especially if the Big XII schools start getting along and look for their own symbolic expansion. Plus, my suspicion is the SEC will ultimately grab a BE team to go to 14 (Maybe Ville).
Would it be unreasonable to think that maybe Pres. Herbst should be in the phone with the Big XII pitching the virtues of having Big XII football in the Big East? The travel would be hideous I realize, but if we came over in a package deal with WVU and Cincy, it might make things a bit easier to swallow. And while I realize that the Big XII might ultimately not be that stable, you can't tell me it would be any worse than the 12/20 split some people have talked about in recent posts - esp if WVU and Ville end up going elsewhere.
