Pete Thamel of SI saying Wichita St/AAC could happen in few months
No the problem with the Big East is its reason for existence was hoops. Football was added as a tack on with several football only members to address needs of members with FBS football. Then it reached a point where they were adding members detrimental to the hoops mission. Just as Big West hoops members eventually blocked adding new members playing football that didn't fit their vision.
The final straw was promising to go from splitting tv 2/3rds hoops 1/3rd football to talking of 70% football 30% hoops. If that had been the figure the hoops members end up worse off.
Sun Belt doesn't have an issue because UT-Arlington and UA-Little Rock can't block anything alone and Sun Belt better meets their needs than the alternatives.
