Tell that to Louisville-(3 OOC Road Games), or SU-WVU-(scrambling to secure a 12th game). Unless you are Notre Dame it is almost impossible to come up with 5 OOC games.

And NOBODY wants to schedule DIAA Games, that kills any possibility for playing in the BCS Title game. But I guess you could care less about that to protect your Wildcats/Irish. F both ND and the BBall onlies.

TS2:

I am concerned with your numbers (7.5 games - 10.5 games). How do play a half a game. Do you listen to the band after playing for 30 minutes and then go home or do skip school support and the band, and just leave after 30 minutes of play.? :domokun:

What is even funnier he is using ND along with Army/Navy. One, the ND deals don't start up until 2009-2010 at the earliest. Two, we don't have any agreement with Army/Navy. So right here right now we have a scheduling problem.

But that doesn't matter to ole Tigger, as long as his Wildcats/Irish are protected he could care less.

Fact of the matter you have Rutgers, Pittsburgh, WVU and Syracuse fans along with Louisville fans wanting a split so the Football members can grow into our full potential. But we have these BBall Onlie/ND fans that want to status quo. If we stand pat the league will die.

The fans are not making the decisions.Besides the the BE games
the football schools need 40 games.
1.11 games with ND,Army,Navy
2.8 games with 1AA
3. 8 games with the MAC
Thus 27 games are covered and 13 need to be covered(almost 10,5 games per school)
The strategic decisions in a research university are influenced very little by season ticket holders.Big time donors get on to university boards and have some influence.The principles of university governance(University Senates)interacting with the university president on such strategic decisions and are approved by the university boards(the boards are made of governors reps,university presidents reps(usually big time donors))

Again, WE DON'T HAVE A FREAKING AGREEMENT WITH ARMY OR FREAKING NAVY or even the FREAKING MAC.

The fact is this, the BIG EAST has a scheduling problem and you want to keep bringing up Notre Dame helping but THAT HELP DOESN'T COME until 2009/2010. We are living in the here and now not FREAKING 2009/2010.

But what do you care, Rutgers, SU, Louisville and WVU have had problems this year. Like I said, F the BBall Onlies and ND this they don't want to help us RIGHT NOW.

Maize, you guys are truly throwing away precious cyber space arguing with this guy. We can all speculate until we are blue in the face but some of these threads are becoming super redundant. I would honestly love to split and add "1" team whether its a football team or a all-sports team. Going back and forth is getting silly. Its almost becoming smack board material.

TS2:

So what are you saying with your funny math? Are you saying that the BE still hasn't filled out their OOC games for this coming season, next season, the season after? Which teams can't fill their OCC schedules?

If ND, Navy, and Army aren't going to help now then why deal with them in the future. Of all the D1A programs out there, there has to be some, Cusa, MAC, WAC, MWC, and Sunbelt teams to deal with until the 9th member is picked up or the split is moved up. 1AA can't help they only schedule 11 games according to schedules put Nova and UMass.

I would suggest the moderators to place this thread in the Smack Room and even if possible have a separate Expansion section so the main room would not be cluttered with this crap.

Yes I am tired of it and I am tired of agenda posters who post ONLY on this subject and refuses to say which team they are for.

Last time I will ever post on expansion unless some real news comes out and not speculation. You have a very good point Kardphan.

I stopped posting on this topic long ago Bro, this subject is getting ridiculous. I can almost forecast what everybody is going to say regarding this subject when I see there name next to the thread. Its either a fan of a school who's not in the Big East and the same fans in the Big East talking about the same stuff. I used to like to speculate and talk about expansion but its turned into smack and it just spins into other threads related to smack. The guys coming from CUSA seem to add fuel to the fire.

Definition 1: unless I agree with a small set of Louisville fans everything I say is trash or crap.
Definition 2: A small set of louisville fans augmented by some cusa east fans wanting entry into the BE for their school know the correct path for the BE.
Definition 3: A small set of Louisville fans and their buddies want to expel BE members for decades based on their thoughts
Definition 4:the small set of louisville fans want to deprieve me of free speech on the board because I disagree with them

Would you please quit talking about the Indianapolis Bowl like it's going to happen or something. I live in Indiana and there is ZERO support for a bowl game here. Most importantly I can't imagine that there would be support for one in the Big East if the opponent is some team from the MAC. Thanks but no thanks...

You finally get the idea. BTW you have free speech but its not guaranteed on this board. The Louisville fans you like to berate moderate this board. Take that as a friendly reminder.

Tigger= It makes me lmfao

I am just going to wait until it happens. Tiger Poo is a one trick Pony!

Tiger, where is the link to the announced Big East v. MAC scheduling agreement that has each Big East team playing 1 MAC team per year? I missed that when it was announced.

A few facts:

1) UofL has played 1, and only 1, regular season game against a MAC school since 1982. That would be crushing EMU in 1999. No history exists in the last 2 decades between UofL and current MAC schools.

2) UofL has a full schedule currently through 2009. Other out of conference games are scheduled already for 2010-2012.

3) Not a single MAC team appears on future UofL schedules at this time.

where is this located?

I guess this board is run for the select few.

No Tiger Guppy, everyone is tire of you, period! They are nice guys, most would have just out and out banned you!

Only cusa south east lovers are in favor of destroying the BE.

As a Memphis grad I am sensitive to academic talk. As to another recent accomplishment, out of 186 teams representing 129 law schools, Memphis made the finals of the debate challenge I believe in Washington DC. We lost to Duke. This is in addition to consistently having the highest Tn Bar exam pass rate of any college in the state. That includes Vanderbilt. We are trying to pull our weight in academics and sports.
