If Pittsburgh bolts... what does the Big East do?

Featured Replies

I am of the belief that if a conference does not have a conference championship game they do not deserve a BCS bid. And I am a huge BE fan.

 

Given the NCAA rules required to have a cash grab, I mean title game, that makes less than zero sense...

You are right... replacing Pitt with Memphis won't hurt the conference at all.

 

So that's a no. OK...

Pitt made seven bowl games last decade. Is that anything?

So your argument is they are at least slightly above the average barrier over the last decade???

How many other teams in the conference appeared in more?

The NCAA requires 12 teams to have a cash grab game. 6 leagues are in the BCS. Do the math...

I don't really care since the only window that counts for THIS league is 5 years. Pitt is an average football program that hasn't seen real success in 20 years. The fact that they have recruited the "best" over the last 5 years and still don't have a title should give you a hint...

That is fine if it makes you feel better but the rest of the college football world doesn't look at it like that.

I think you have misunderstood what I'm saying. Currently the SEC, ACC, Big 12, C-USA, MAC have league championship games. The PAC-10, Big 10, Big East, MWC, WAC does not. In order for the PAC-10, Big 10, Big East, MWC, WAC to have a team in a BCS bowl game, (cash grab game) they need to have a league championship game, which means those leagues need to add schools or have schools up their program to be eligible for the BCS. That's IMO

You speak for the whole college football world??? :lol: :lol:

And I think that makes less than zero sense. The Big East should be forced to "legitimize" itself by adding up to 5 MAC/CUSA programs to "earn" a BCS bid? You don't see the flaws in that logic???

As funny as your argument that the conference is only five years old.

 

Fact is there is a lot of "newness" in the Big East and Pitt leaving can only hurt. Not to mention the Big 10 would now have 12 teams and most likely a title game. That would make four conferences with 12 teams and titles games, the Pac 10 with 10 teams and Big East with 8.

Do you really think the "college football world" looks at this as the same conference that lost Miami, VT and BC? Hilarious. Seriously. Listen to your own argument maybe? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

As to part #2....... and?????

The arrogance that you speak with is honestly comical. You get so defensive because the poor little ole Bearcats wouldn't have a prayer at making a BCS game in another conference.

 

The "college football world" looks at Pitt as one of the better programs in the Big East. There is no stop, start or rewind button that came into play when Miami, VT and BC left. Losing Pitt only furthers the damage of the perception that the Big East has.
