Jon Wilner: Big East Pressuring Boise State To Take WVU's Place In 2012

But it's never too late for WV to make the switch.

One school operates with morals and respect for contracts; the other wears gold uniforms.

Bleacher Report is speculating UCF moves to fill the void - less costly, and they have been adamant they wanted ion to the BE from the get-go.

WV taxpayers either have a lot of money to spend - BE exit fee, legal fees, FSU cancellation, etc - or they'll be cutting programs quicker like MD.

Here you go gioff23, 10 Poorest states in America. Guess who's #47?

I am happy to see they moved up a few spots.

West Virginia, already with a pending lawsuit against the Big East, may have more litigation on its hands. Florida State athletic director Randy Spetman on Saturday said that the university in the coming months may be forced to proceed with litigation against West Virginia if the Seminoles are unable to find a suitable replacement for the now-cancelled Sept. 8 football game between the two schools. On Saturday morning, Spetman announced, through a statement, that the contest would not be played because the Mountaineers were backing out. As West Virginia prepares for a move from the Big East Conference to the Big-12, the game didn't appear to fit in what would be its new schedule.

Adam Zagoria of zagsblog.com tweeted about an hour ago that Memphis to Big East rumors have legs. I think it would be a good addition to at least put some basketball luster onto this round of expansion. I also would like UNLV or Temple thrown in there as well so that the BE can get to 12 FB members even before Navy and possibly AF join.

Ugh. More motivation for RU and UConn to #BegHarder.

Now McMurphy is confirming Memphis for all-sports in 2013. Great move by the BE! Looking forward to playing them in hoops assuming UConn doesn't go ACC or some other conference by then.

6. Cut a hole in the box.

Memphis is a great roadtrip. If you enjoy music Graceland is a must see. Drove there 4 years ago and enjoyed every minute. The Civil Rights museum is also a must see.

You can also stop at the "Hermitage", Andrew Jackson's house along the way near Nashville.

She said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
..and I said, "Ma'am I am tonight."

That's among the great song lyrics of all time.

Looks like Boise is coming. This will be one helluva home game. Losing WVU hurts but getting a team like Boise in the Rent will definitely be interesting. I really hope they make it into the league for 2012.

Put your junk in that box?
