Navy and Army in for football only could give the Big East a big boost, they aren't national powerhouse schools, but well respected, and pretty competitive schools with the big service academy fan bases.
Anyhow, might be hitting up the Las Vegas Classic Basketball Tournament in Vegas on December 23rd (probably seeing Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl in football the day before), hope to see some good tourney action then.

I'm so sick of this realignemnt now it isn't even funny. Now I'm just waiting for it to fire back up again with the Big East to die. Time for these conferences to make very excessive exit fees in the future.

And this is one that makes almost no impact in basketball but a pretty decent one in football. If the Big 12 stays together it'll be interesting to see how TCU competes on a yearly basis with Texas and OU, but they'll be a cellar dweller in basketball.

The Big East is also dead as a football conference now. That gives them 6 football members, you need at least 7 to remain a BCS automatic qualifier. Who's going to join that league now?

Army and Navy (and UCF is a top tier C-USA team in the past if you include them too, and a rival to USF), and while they aren't BCS powerhouses, they are still very well known, whether it keeps their BCS auto bid? Remains to be seen (doubt it though).
Big East should add Army, Navy, UCF, and have Villanova (Temple, Memphis, and ECU are options as well) move up and they are still somewhat relevant. There is some decent options, but the Big East needs to step up to the big boy table and put some BIG exit fees that will not allow teams to leave at will.
I just hope the SEC ****ing invites Missouri, and the Big 12 invites BYU so we can have the minimal amount of this ****ing crap, I honestly like the Big East and hopes it stays. I've never been a big fan of ACC football for whatever reason.

Indiana's Maurice Creek tore his right achilles, out for the year. That's an achilles and two broken kneecaps in about 18 months, gotta start questioning his longterm viability. I hate everything IU, but I feel awful for the kid.
