2013 - 2014 Big East: Basketball/Football

[DocVol]

Is Memphis still joining the BE after this season?

What are the BB and FB conferences going to look like after the mass exodus on both sides?

I don't follow the BE but am curious how this is going to play out.

 

[BadJerry20]

Not sure, but the big east won't even be named the big east. The seven Catholic schools bought the name. The only reason I know that is I live in Louisville. Its too confusing to worry about IMO. Lol

 

[DocVol]

So the Catholic-7 are going to keep the Big East name?

Yep. Not sure what the current Big East will be called.

 

[tbwhhs]

The rumor is that it will be the America 12.

 

[DocVol]

Comprised of?

 

[BadJerry20]

To be honest, idk who will be in it after next year. I can answer your initially question, Memphis will be in it. But with everyone leaving, it's very much a lateral move as far as conferences go.

 

[tbwhhs]

It will be Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Rutgers, and South Florida from the current Big East. Central Florida, Houston, Memphis, SMU, and Temple are joining next year, Tulane and East Carolina (football only) when Louisville and Rutgers leave in 2014, and Navy (football only) in 2015.

Is cincy and uconn staying? That is one sad conference

 

[tbwhhs]

Yes. until they get an offer to leave. I can see the ACC possibly inviting one down the road.

 

[DocVol]

It's basically Conference USA then.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

America 12? Wow that's bad.

 

[DocVol]

'Murica 12 sounds better

 

[BadJerry20]

It's basically Conference USA then.

Pretty much.

 

[BadJerry20]

Some representative said America 12 is just a rumor, and won't be the name.

I think we should make suggestions. I say Terrible 12 or The Disregarded Dozen maybe CORC aka Casualties of Realignment Conference

That should more be the name of the two WAC teams left without a conference
