    Syracuse game was fucking awesome

    Louisville really pissed themselves at the end.

    For sure, turnovers on the last two possessions. Big win for Syracuse though. Pretty wild season overall so far

    looks like the split will take place in the summer of '14.

    catholic 7 plus xavier, butler and maybe vcu might actually be about as competitive as the remaining teams left in the big east...

    Just add Butler & Xavier for 9 teams. Then they can play Home & Home for 16 League games. Team that wins regular season gets a bye for the League Tourney and play the winner of 8/9 game in the first round.

    they are not supposed to join acc until 2014. so if they cannot get in early, they will try to get into the new big east for a year.

    i guess it leaves the door open in case something happens with the acc in the short term or long term.

    Now with UConn going to be without a league, I hope they join the ACC. My cousins think I'm crazy for saying that, but I think it would be exciting to see UConn-Duke and UConn-UNC every year and also continuing the rivalry with Syracuse.

    This is the best UConn-Duke moment:

    I don't think they well becuz of FOOTBALL DOLLARS($$$$). I think if UCONN was still 1-AA in Football, like they use to be, then i could see them joining. Though, i would like to see them stay in the Big East.

    i was kidding....however if they cannot get into the acc when they expand again, i can see them trying to get back with the old b. e. schools and moving football to the mac or something.


    again, fuck college football.

    Syracuse's Boeheim is bullish on 'Catholic 7' basketball

    Eric Prisbell, USA TODAY Sports3:40p.m. EST March 5, 2013
    Orange's longtime coach says Big East breakup was 'inevitable'


    Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said that the new Big East conference will be among the nation's best
    The basketball schools are also expected to announce a television deal with the new Fox Sports 1 channel
    Xavier and Butler are also expected to join the league from the Atlantic-10

    Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, who has been in the Big East since its inception in 1979, said that the new Big East basketball conference, when it begins competition in the fall, will be among the nation's preeminent basketball conferences.


    "I think it will be as good as any league," Boeheim told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday. "I think it can be a top basketball league, I really do. They have the TV deal. Their fear, which is not going to happen, is that (football) schools break away from the NCAA and form some big deal. But I don't see that happening."

    The new league, which will keep the Big East name, will consist of the Catholic 7: Georgetown, Seton Hall, Marquette, Providence, DePaul, St. John's and Villanova. Xavier and Butler are also expected to join the league from the Atlantic-10. And the league could expand further, perhaps to include Creighton and/or Saint Louis, among other candidates.

    VIDEO: Boeheim's best moments with the media

    The basketball schools are also expected to announce a television deal with the new Fox Sports 1 channel today, USA TODAY Sports reported.

    "They will end up with a really good league," Boeheim said. "They'll have some money coming in, and looks like they have a TV contract. And they don't ever have to worry about football juggling them around again. That was always going to happen.

    "It was a miracle the Big East stayed together for so long. And football-basketball schools need to be together. And basketball-only schools need to be together. It [the breakup] was inevitable. It just took a long time because of Dave Gavitt and Mike Tranghese holding it together all those years."
