I totally agree why would JP not want more money for the AD budget, money is what it is all about now and hopefully establishing some new rivals and bringing excitement back. To me that is just a good pr move on his part as that is what any of us should say if we were in his shoes.
can somebody give me an update on the big east who are the new teams for football next year.
In chip brown's latest:
Don't like. Get all in or all out. Especially if theyd be taking one of the conference's bowl slots. ND is a great brand, but it seems some are willing to give a lot more than its worth to get them, as if theyre still worth what they were 20 years ago.

Drake, UNI, Creighton, Iowa Western, DMACC, Valley and Ames High.

Next Year: Temple
2013: Boise St, San Diego St, SMU, Houston, Memphis, Central Florida
2015: Navy
That is if it doesn't all collapse sometime soon...Boise and San Diego State are getting cold feet. And if the FSU/Clemson thing happens then the Big East will lose 2 more to the ACC.
I don't mind ND getting an invite but its all or nothing. None of this partial membership crap.
If WVU is the school pushing for expansion in the Big 12, would they now perhaps be pushing for VT? That's a rivalry I'd like to see restored:

I have yet to read any speculation regarding this.

if the big XII snags a couple more teams from either conference the most sensible thing for both those conferences to do is merge. Then there would be a great lakes conference, a east conference, a southeast conference, a continental conference (big 12), and a west conference. Almost makes too much sense...

And we're not beggars in this deal, so we don't need to bow down to them. They need us more than we need them.
Not good. Basically the same **** they pulled on us back in the Big East 2 decades ago.
The absolute only thing I can think of with this is that it's to allow time (they're basically booked solid through 2016) to clear out some of the junk from their schedule. After that it should be easy enough to manage, but that's still a lot of time to wait and a chance that they can do exactly the same crap they did when the joined the Big East back in the mid 90s for their other sports. Keep their independence in football with an agreement to play a certain number of Big East teams each year, then end up breaking that anyway.
VPI is on the top of the SEC's list if the SEC goes to 16. The Big 12 is their backup location.
Remember Notre Dame has a contract with NBC until 2015. Starting 2016 ND would move its football 'all-in' to the Big 12.
I would not have a problem with ND as a non- football member in 2013-2015 if they agreed UP FRONT to become a full member in 2016.
I would be fine with a phased entrance if they need to to accomodate the transition. But they need to have it in ink (with penalties for backing out later) that they'll become full members by a certain date. Dont give them the benefits of a conference without the full commitment.
I would be fine with that as well. With significant penalties for breaking that deal.
