"Just like you should have had the Big 12 football championship in Dallas every year (the most amazing football stadium ever built) - did you hear that Nebraska?!?! "

How's that working out?

It doesn't have to be KC. My thought was that with 20 teams you could basically treat it as two separate tournaments to get the finalists. Having something regional is going to draw more fans from the mid west area. More ticket sales=more money for the conference. I get that MSG is the place for the Big East championship, that is the way it should be. Just thought that this would be a way to make more money.

the P&L and Sprint Center are wearing astronaut diapers until this realignment is resolved.

Glad I don't pay taxes there anymore.

You could sign me up today for the Big East.

The uncertainity is haunting.

This is like the lottery draft and we have the 11th or 12th pick.

ISU Preferences:
Big Ten
PAC 16
SEC
Big East
MWC
ACC
WAC

Guess which ones are available?

I'd go with
Big Ten
Pac 16 only if we went with the north instead of Texa$ & friends
Big East
MWC
ACC this will never happen
anything above would be a positive outcome
C-USA, MAC or Wac
SEC don't want to be associated with this scum

I would be ok with the Big East.. Obviously the Big Ten is best case scenario, I just don't see it happening. Basketball in the Big East would at least give us a recruiting boost and possibly speed up the rebuild of our basketball program.

[ISUonthemove]

I would be all for the Big East.

the kc star called friday the worst day in kc sports history.

And you thought that ISU had it bad - they also have to deal with the Royals and Chiefs.

I feel bad for KC...

I don't know if this got brought up in the huge big east thread, but what about this set up:

West (or non northeast): ISU, Kansas, K-State, Mizzou, DePaul, Cinnci, ND, L-Ville, Marquette, and USF

East (or northeast): Prov, Rutgers, St John's, UCONN, G-town, Nova, Seton Hall, Cuse, Pitt, and WV

Each division plays its own tournament. The east plays in MSG the west rotates between KC, Chicago, St Louis, etc. The two champions play in MSG for the Big East crown. Maybe I'm way off, but that seems doable to me.

That would be the way to do it.

There has been a lot of chatter on our site, Cardinal Sports.com, about the potential of Iowa St., KU, KS, and MO joining the Big East. I am wondering what the members of your site think of this idea?

Most of us would take it in a microsecond.

Question is, what do you think of the idea?

I think it would be a good for the existing BE and the schools of the B-12 North. As you can read on CardinalSports.com there is great support for it happening. We have to alleviate "your" apprehensions about BE schools jumping ship to other conferences. I am/was looking forward to the announcement of the "North" joining the BE.

As of Sunday evening it appears that Mr. Bebee is trying a last ditch effort to hold the B-12(-) together (according to Orangebloods.com). Apparantly he and the PAC 10 Commish are and have been crossing TX (not together naturally) this weekend talking to the schools involved in moving to the the PAC.

I guess we will hear something by mid-week.
