Subject: Miami, BC and 'Cuse to ACC Rumor -- Effect on AE??????
With the new arena opening at BU in 2004, anyone think BU has any chance to replace BC as non-football member of the Big East if shakeup occurs?

If the big 3 football schools leave the Big East, then the Big East as we know it is dead, as VT, WVU and Rutgers will probably want to find a new all sport home. It's not as far out of the realm of possibility, belive it or not. However, I'd think that given the nature of the schools that would be left, (Gtown, SJU, SHU, Providence), that Holy Cross would be as good a fit as BU. Doesn't give them the Boston Marketplace however.

Add Pitt and UConn to that list as they would also be looking for a home with 1A football. JMHO, but I think the Big East will add a football school or two to keep Miami, BC and 'Cuse on board and happy. I think Providence, St. John's and Seton Hall will be gone. Georgetown and Villanova play 1-AA scholarshop football which MIGHT get them a reprieve. The basketball fans don't understand it or believe it, but football has become the focal point of the Big East.

Reports from last weekend's BU basketball breakup banquet say that AD Gary Strickler surprised everyone by announcing that BU is giving more resources and emphasis to the basketball program. Couple this with the recognized need to generate maximum income from the new arena, and it sure sounds like BU could be receptive (even if there are no current plans) to moving to a bigger basketball conference.
BTW, reports from the banquet also say that Dennis Wolff indicated he would be interested in the Rutgers job.

Make that Fordham, of course, not Rutgers.

There was an article in the Globe this morning discussing the fact that he may be a, if not the, leading candidate.
