BYU going to the Big East? More likely now!!!

[sdsu4lifealmost]

Norte Dame out but BYU is soon to come in. A whole lot of folks have said that BYU will not join Big East now that ND has left. But this is far from the truth.

If Notre Dame made the move for scheduling issues, then what happens to BYU. BYU has a "TBA" on all their football scheduling for 2013-2015 which includes ND in November. ND will be pressed to schedule BYU now that their is little room for scheduling. Can BYU take a chance that they they will remain irrelevant in football in the coming seasons for November and maybe post football games? Nope they can't.

BE foresaw this coming, Big East negotiated with Notre Dame and simply new ND was not interested in what BE had planed for them in terms of negotiating the TV contract. ND has a deal with NBC and probably voiced their opinion to BE, but BE's new contract might threaten ND's deal with NBC. But guess what BYU has no contract with NBC. BYU at this moment is being pushed hard to join a conference, now that independence is looking like a very bad deal in the future. If BYU was going to enter Big East, then now is a good time as any.

If you're team is Inde you better find a conference quick or make a deal like what ND will have with the ACC. 5 game deal is not bad for ND, and they will still remain Inde and keeping their existing NBC deal. BYU needs a conference affiliation now, and yesterday would have been better.

Will BYU call up MWC to negotiate a deal to comeback? Nope MWC and BYU don't see eye to eye, and MWC and BYU both share resentment.

WIll BYU get into PAC 12? Nope least likely out of all the conferences.

Will BYU get into the Big 12? Maybe but they are happy with 10 and plus with the addition of ND to ACC effectively take any expansion of the table for the Big 12 in the coming years. FSU and Clemson are going to love their ACC conference now. Hard to leave when its sunny and beautiful in your town all of a sudden, especially since your about to get a pay raise.

Whats left? Big East! As much as I hate to say it, BYU will be part of the Big East in the near future. Expect to hear this announcement in the coming months if not weeks.

If you think Aresco didn't see this coming a month ago, then you are blind. Aresco knows how to negotiate TV deals and knows what to expect. I'm sure he has a back up plan. Strings are being pulled long before ND announcement.

What happens now? Big East and BYU happens. Its probably happening right now we just don't know it.

Not sold BYU goes to big east, we will see.

blaaaa hope not!

[matteosandiego]

who cares.

As long as they get rid of the 2yr mission rule then we can talk. Amazing the ncaa allows that.

Hi.

Here are my 2 cents.

1) BYU sucks.

2) BYU is too self-centered to undergo any concessions concerning TV contracts. They love independence because they get their way with all the TV deals. This will prevent them from joining any conference. BYU's mission is all about exposure. This is paramount to anything else.

With Utah joining the Pac XII, Utah's program has become larger than the Utah-BYU rivalry. Utah will stop scheduling BYU after this year. This leaves BYU left in the dust. Their scheduling is going to suffer. They are stuck with playing Idaho State and Weber State every year. Good riddance.

Who knows what happens now. The Basketball schools might leave and the Big East could become a true full national conference.

Let BYU rot

If anything, this makes it less likely BYU will join the BE. Now the B12 will stop wondering whether ND is coming so when B12 expansion comes, if some are correct that FSU and Clemson won't be able to afford the ACC buyout, the probable additions would be BYU and Louisville.

Maybe you should tell Rocky that considering SDSU has a player currently on a mission I believe and are recruiting brothers that will go on a mission.

The Big 12 isn't adding anyone. They just signed a new TV Deal for a ton of money. BYU and Louisville wouldn't add any more money to it. They aren't adding anymore mouths.

This move doesn't change anything. IF the ACC adds another school like Rutgers, Uconn or a bball only like Georgetown, then it does.

ACC commish: "There is no need to add a 16th team to the league & there's no intention of doing so."

ND, did not do this for scheduling issues. I can't believe anyone actually believes that.

Whatever is the case, I refuse to get wrapped up in all the bitching and moaning from fans of Cincinnati, Louisville and UCF or whomever on the BE board about ND leaving and BYU not coming. It's just the same butthurt horsesh!t as on the MWC board over SDSU and Boise leaving.

That's as much BS as the ACC commissioner saying they are absolutely not going to add a 16th member for basketball. If it would substantially improve the bottom line with their TV partner you can bet the ACC would add somebody like VCU in a heartbeat. Well, unless VA Tech and UVA blocked it but there are other VCUs out there.

I hope they add Georgetown so we can rip the band aid off of the all sports/basketball wound.

You got that right. They are going nuts because they were living high on the BC$ hog for awhile and now it's all gone. It's still better than the MWC for SDSU and we have no control over it anyway so I am not stressing.

SDSU has much higher chance of being a successful school if BYU is in the Big East.

Also their games are the most anticipated of the year.

I hate BYU. But the Big East could use them.
