Is there a reason why my avatar has changed to shek republic? My profile shows my Grizzlies logo as my avatar but now I have this Star Wars avatar thing when I post. What's up with that? EDIT: back to normal
There's Abliene Christian and Incarnate Word, who are joining the Southland in 2013. Northern Kentucky and Nebraska-Omaha are already in the process of moving up. I went to an NKU game last month and they have a pretty decent basketball team for a first year Division 1 program. Great facility too. They are doing pretty well in the A-Sun and wouldn't be surprised to see them in the tournament here in about 5-6 years.
Here's a question, what happens to Boise State's conference schedule? They have already announced the conference schedule for the Big East so what happens? Do they play all those games against Big East opponents or does the conference have to completely alter the schedule?
That will be the move that will put the final nail in the BE's coffin. Boise did the right thing by staying and the move put the MWC into the position where the BE used to stand in. Exactly. I think Boise State was very smart staying put. And you are right, the Big East is dead...
