    Default Big East to break up????

    Sounds like the basketball schools have had about enough....

    The presidents of the Big East's seven Catholic, non-Football Bowl Subdivision schools are expected to decide on their future in the Big East in the coming days and it "would be an upset" if they remained in the league, sources told ESPN.

    The presidents of the seven schools are scheduled to conduct a teleconference with Big East commissioner Mike Aresco on Thursday and are expected to issue a statement on their schools' future in the next 24 to 48 hours.

    That would be a solid high mid-major basketball conference. If it results in getting the Big East out of the BCS I'm all for it. UConn, USF, and Cincinnati would be interesting candidates for other conferences.

    MVC partay after Creighton joins the new conference (this is pure conjecture at this point, but it's been rumored).

    Way too early questions: would SDSU also be invited and might the MVC start sponsoring football? I think Wichita St needs their team back

    Lots of possibilities from this domino falling.

    Would Creighton leaving the MVC alone realistically give us a shot at getting in right now? I doubt it. I think we'd need the new Catholic league to take Creighton plus at least one of the other private schools in the MVC moving on as well to have a shot to see some real movement, and even then it's a huge long shot.
    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    NDSU wouldn't be the MVCs first target IMHO. If they take anyone from teh Summit it would be SDSU.
