Devil's Advocate: If enough of the Big XII moves to the MWC, is it still a mid major?
In football ... yes. If only KSU, KU, ISU, Mizzou go. Not exactly football powerhouses.

I disagree. If you have those 4 plus TCU, Utah, BYU and BSU, I think that should be a BCS conference.
It may get a BCS bid b/c Big XII gets dissolved, but I still think it would be the mid-major equivalent of the BCS schools. The bigger problem? It would be making mid major cash with a mid major tv contract.
I dont get the distance thing either.
Basically if you aren't in driving distance 2-3 hours... you are flying anyway. So what does it matter if you fly 500 miles vs 800 miles.
I really dont understand why the Mountain West is even comparable to the Big Espn. We cant look at the present. We need to look at the future, and potential of each option. The MW would be okay for football and blah for the rest. The Big Espn would be okay for football and a premier league for all of the other sports. The Mt West is never gonna be a huge power conference. The Big East has tons of potential, especially with Tagliabue and a network.
I dont get it. the Big espn?? what?

ESPN largely used the Big East Conference in it's development years and a close relationship still exists between the two. Hell, I'm not sure there's a day of the week that ESPN doesn't broadcast a Big East basketball game that time of year...
A nickname for Big East basketball, since they are in ESPN's backyard.
If Texas and the Texas butt buddy schools go to the PAC 10, I predict Baylor to Conf USA, and the North 4 to the Big East.

Cincy message boards. I like how for once reading through some Big East message boards there was actually someone who said something good about us on how our atmosphere is good.
