We could split and stay at 8 and add teams at a later date.

That's fine, but it implicates all 119 teams. And it isn't fundamentally changing anytime soon because both sides have something to offer the other.
All 119 teams are implicated. That was the whole point. And those teams who are pricing those games out of reach are commiting felonies.

I agree we do not need a Duke or Temple quality team in the Big East. WE probably need to ask Providence and Seaton Hall to find a new home and add two from the following"
ECU
Memphis
UCF
No u need BUFFALO.. and maybe temple.
You need your head examined.
Bit...I think you missed the joke.
Believe the person you were responding to was making "fun" of comments from some Big East fans over the past year or so...who have touted Buffalo and/or Temple would be a good idea for Big East Football.
That's all.

A lot has changed in the last year as far as expansion. Last year the BigEast was getting hammered by most sportswriters and college football observers as being undeserving of their BCS bid.
WVU changed all that with one arse whoopin of UGA. Now you have WVU and UL potentially finishing in the Top 10 and both going to a BCS Bowl and Rutgers and Pitt maybe finishing in the final Top 25.
With that the BigEast has solidified their BCS position. This allows them to be a little more creative with a 9th member. If that member is needed badly for scheduling they can look to a program that has potential and does not necessarily need to come in with immediate national recognition as we all know there are basically no quick fixes for the BigEast out there except Notre Dame and they ain't changing their situation now or ever.
So the BigEast can look at the cast of candidates and decide which one is good fit geographically, academically, athletically and has the fan support and potential to grow ie a VT prior to BigEast expansion. That could include a long list of candidates. Whoever the BigEast picks, if they even do add a 9th member, they will not receive nearly the flack from the National media as they would of a year ago. Now it would just be a case of a strong conference adding a program that they can help grow and will ease scheduling difficulties.

The joke was in poor taste. Villanova, New Hampshire, or Delaware would be better additions than either Temple or Buffalo.

We would like every member try to be competitive by put in resource to compete, wins and lost go in cycle but geographically it never change and academic reputation move very, very slowly. But our needs for more football members need to be resolve when it can be done (2010). So we should start with geographically fit follow by good academic reputation and willingness to put in a lot of resource to be competitive.

Man, these post take on a life of their own. I posted this thread and just got back to it today. I noticed someone saying we don't need a little sister of the poor in our conference. I don't think we do either. I stated that each team may need to play a couple of LSOTP teams every year. Every team in every conference does. No one goes through a season and plays all BCS highly ranked teams. And if we progress the way we should our in conference schedules will get tougher and tougher every year....so leave those one or two gimme wins on the schedule.
My other point was there are no more real quality teams left for expansion so if we expand we might as well grow a team from within. I don't have a problem with Vilanova, georgetown, or anyone else already in the fold. It couldn't be any worse than grabbing up someone from another conference.
