Growing rumor Big East is adding two members..

The rumor is that Central Florida and Memphis are going to the Big East...
but thus far the conference is denying it...

This is just the next stop in the inevitible. The schools, athletic departments, culture of the football and non-football Big East is, and will continue, to become more distinct.

It's just a matter of time that the conference splits into two seperate entities.

You think if true this could cause them to jettison (or lose) a couple of basketball only schools?

And then they'll add the MVC...and then C-USA...and it will be the greatest conference ever...

VOMIT.
