The Boise addition came under the leadership of an idiot that didn't realize the Big East wouldnt need BCS points going forward.

Nope. We blew it. Western expansion was an innovative idea, but we handled it in a clumsy and timid way. So it failed. Well, we must be doing something right---we've made it through the last 3 months and only lost 13 schools.

Nop, nobody's fault. But y'all, including incoming members have to admit it. No one wants to stay in Big East. That is the fact.

And the same was said about Pitt, Syracuse, UL, Rutgers, and the 7 Catholic schools and they seem to be doing just fine.
