Go to the ESPN website right now and you will find a Big East blog that will remain there. Go to rivals recruiting it says Big East. Go to any major college football website and you will find the Big East.

They will have the same problems the Sun Belt has if they get a new name. Getting a new name in basketball isn't really that big of a difference and the C7 league does not even have a Big East feel anymore. Yes there are Eastern teams but when I think Big East basketball I think of Cuse, Pitt, and UConn.

You're right; Tulane, ECU, SMU and UCF scream "Big East"! hahahaha

Im sure no one thinks of Georgetown and Villanova at all.

In my opinion neither conference screams Big East anymore. But ECU, Tulane, SMU, UCF are the ones joining the Big East not leaving it.

The catholic schools want to have their cake and eat it too. No matter how much people try and twist this proposal this is what your really trying to do.

1. You invited teams to join a conference and they accepted.
2. You got upset because other teams left
3. You announced that you were leaving the conference
4. You turn around and want to retain the conference name while (leaving)
5. Your pretty much hoping to un invite all of the football playing members but you have no way to.
6. Your telling them to make a new conference and all of the difficulties involved.

The reason the Big East members (Cincy, UConn, USF, Temple) and future members will never let this fly is because your asking them to take all of the risks.

This is an excellent post. As much as the C7 fans try to tear it down with more elitist retorts, we all know this is the reality. Fortunately for everyone, they and us have NOTHING to do with the negotiations or the legalities of it all. Dictating demands and terms is irrelevant by posters on a message board.
