Crazy new Temple/Richmond Rumor!!
Rumor from a good source (alleged to have BE inside connections); the BE wants Nova, knows Nova would have problems so looking at the model of the ACC with Wake and Duke (both smaller schools with higher academic standards). Under this rumor there would be a three school invite, Nova, Temple and Richmond.

Holy crap!!

Good idea. Richmond's new stadium seats 8700, perfect for a major BCS conference.

RE: Crazy new Temple/Richmond Rumor!!
Here is the quote from the Richmond Board. Holy Crap!!

Quote:Went to a big charity dinner last night here in Philly and sat with a big Nova alumni (the Nova President does his kids christenings personally!). He says Nova feels like it basically must join Big East football to protect its basketball interests, but is very worried about football competitiveness etc. He says their proposal is that the Big East add 3 teams instead of one for football and that those schools be made up of schools with whom Nova football can compete and have meaningful rivalries with etc. They are advocating smaller schools but also recognize that these additions not "dilute" Big East Basketball. They however, can't identify 2 schools that meet that exact profile. So they settled on Temple as one team. Nova gets a rival it can compete with in football and Big East basketball adds a solid program. It also probably gets Nova into Lincoln Financial Field as a stadium as Temple would never share with a Big East Nova team unless they were also back in Big East. Second team was easier to identify for Nova - - our Richmond Spiders. High FCS football that can transition with Nova and is similar in many ways and our basketball is "good enough" to not cause heartache for other Big East teams worried about dilution. So thats what it is said Nova wants to do - - convince the Big East to also add Temple and us. As he also said, its a double bonus as it strips the A-10 of its 2 "premier" eastern programs (X and DAyton also being premier programs, but not eastern).

Not a chance we'd invite Richmond. And there's zero chance we'd upgrade Nova and bring back Temple. Talk about oversaturation of a market.

You just wait and see. The Big East knows they made a mistake kicking Temple out. We deserve a second chance, and if the Big East doesn't give us a chance then the ACC probably will, so it will be your loss.

Asinine was the word that first came to mind and I am glad others have already used it.

Villanova can either **** or get off the pot...they are not in a position to made demands. If they want to move up they move up, if not than Temple gets the invite. Richmond??? Give me a break.
