All the spec of them leaving for be to unite with Houston, SMU. Just wondering what the chances are.

Translation:

All the talk is of them leaving for the nBE to play with Houston and SMU. I am wondering what the chances are that they stay in C-USA?

Answer:

If the nBE asks, they are gone. If the MWC asks, they are gone. If both ask, I'd bank on MWC. I think nBE is more likely to ask.

I think they're here for at least 2013. Ask next year, around this time again, for 2014.

Big East doesn't need No. 12 until 2015 when Navy joins, so they might be here for a couple more years.

IMO, the nBE is far from done in terms of conference expansion. Big 12 adds Clemson & Florida St, SEC adds NC State & Virginia Tech, Big 10 adds North Carolina & Virginia then the ACC adds UCONN, Cincy, USF, & Temple

Nobody will go to nBE in present state...unless Ellis Johnson took over as president of potential university

I'm pretty sure we'll be in C-USA for 2013, but if/when a Big East invite comes, it'll more than likely be for 2014 or maybe 2015.

IF the ACC loses ncsu and unc-ch then I think they will look to ECU. Having just Wake Forest and Duke as your football representative in one of the countries largest states is not going work.

With all that said I do not think unc-ch would be willing to go from the biggest fish in a big pond with almost all of the control to a middle of the road member with little influence in a new league.

If just NCSU leaves, then UNC will probably pull for ECU.

If comments by the university prez are any indicator, Tulsa goes East because of SMU/Tulane and academics. Houston and SMU staying in the nBE if the MWC comes callin is just a bonus for Tulsa and more of a reason.

....for what? Seriously, not slamming ECU, but you're about as high on the ACC's list as we are on the SEC's list. Everyone knows UConn and Cincy are gone first.

Wow, you guys are drunk on purple cool aid.

Its nuts isnt it.

They have been BEGGING for close to a decade to get into the Big East. It happened and 15 minutes later they are an ACC school.

You guys?? Please do not let one delusional ECU be representative of the entire group. Most ECU fans know that we would probably be the last school invited to the ACC and that would be over UNC's dead body.

Come on man.

You have to admit that the majority of the ECU internet fanbase is a little off base. Its like you guys have 10 times the amount of Tallgrass's that we have

Not a chance..............I'd like to assume you were kidding.
