This guy has been on the $;

So, looking into the very near future here’s our very best guess of the sequence of events for the Big East.
1. Sign main television deal with NBC, with secondary deals with CBS and perhaps TBS or Fox–and ESPN.
2. Announce that the break up for the Catholic 7, as well as Rutgers, Louisville and Notre Dame will officially begin on July 1, 2014.
4.  Announce that the Big East will retain its name, leaving the Catholic 7 group to come up with a new name.
5. Announce that East Carolina will be included as a full member, joining Tulane in 2014 as a full member.
6. Announce that future expansion is on hold (with Tulsa and Massachusetts as logical contenders) until 2015

“@blauds: Defining week for Big East coming; deal with NBC likely, retaining Big East name also likely.  http://ajerseyguy.com”

If you say so, but it would appear the 7 are not getting anything. hard to belief

We will probably get most of the NCAA tourney credits as well as MSG for tourney. I am sure c7 will have to give up a bit to leave a year early.

I am just not sure why the Big East would want to keep the name though and not just sell it to c7

Really I would think only UCONN would want it, Cincinnati and So Fla probably don't give a crap   

The Big East is a quality brand that took years to build. Especially with all the changes that's happening, the name is the only thing BE has going for it. I thought the C7 had the rights to the BE name if they voted to disolve, does anyone know if this was true?

We did not dissolve because we would lose NCAA credits

One of the sites, maybe espn, had a copyright attorney say that if the league doesn't dissolve he believes the naming writes will stay with the football teams regardless if they are original members or not. In his opinion it is a continuing entity.

I would imagine that the Big East tournament perhaps ends up in Hartford

Hackensack wasnt available?

I was thinking possibly Brooklyn but didn't another conference sign a deal there?

I don't think even Rucker Park would want the Big East football schools conference.

I am sure the lure of East Carolina, Tulane, SMU, and Houston is really appealing.

 

The best conference in my opinion would be Butler Xavier Dayton VCU and St. Louis

I would rather have Richmond over St Louis but I think TV deal will dictate getting into St Louis market plus they play division 1 baseball and soccer

why not share The Garden? It'd take some creative scheduling but with less teams involved in each league, you can pull off 2 tourneys in 8 days.

I think they need 1 new east coast team to balance things out. So I think it will come down to VCU or Richmond. Hope its not Sienna. Too much of a jump despite playin in the Pepsi or whateva its call these days.

Fwiw, I don't think they'll add Siena.  They don't add much of a market.  That's Syracuse country.  They have s decent program and arena but don't offer much else moving forward.

Well no, it's not really Syracuse country, except perhaps to people who live in cosmopolitan Commack and think everything north of White Plains is in the artic circle. In fact, Loudonville is about equidistant from Syracuse and Queens. It's Syracuse country to the extent that Albany is the capital of New York and Syracuse is NY's team. Other than that, not so much.

Here's what Siena brings to the table. A nicer campus than SJ, in a nicer community than Jamaica. Better academics than SJ. A better fan base than SJ. Better facilities than SJ. Greater NCAA tournament success than SJ.  A more successful coaching tree (McCaffery, Orr, Deane) than SJ. An administration that's more commmitted to the success of the BB program than is SJ. Other than that you're right, they bring nothing to the table.

Without SJ having had the good fortune to step in a great big steaming pile of Lavin only the most delusional of SJ fans - that would be you incidentally - would not have aspired to Siena's level of success. Because the MAAC was where SJ was headed on a good day.

What Siena doesn't bring to the table is (1) an antedeluvian BB history (2) a coach who's capable of bringing in top 100 recruits and (3) a vitamin water billionaire. In a better conference they're certainly capable of competing against Seton Hall and Detroit Mercy.
