Hot! Big East Mailblog

Let's open the actual mailbag one continue occasion ahead of the online games begin.

Brutus in Houston writes: Hello Andrea. I'm a admirer in the Big 12 as well as SEC, however this realignment discuss includes this awareness peaked. In my estimation the particular issues this Big twelve month period offers pale in comparison to the which the Big East has. For lifespan with me, I do not know exactly why customers of the conference that will do not have fun with football even employ a say in football-related matters, particularly when this seminar is only preaching about introducing football-only members. Wouldn't them just simply be a lot easier pertaining to equally sects to just simply proceed their separate ways, as well as permit the particular sports schools the option for you to carry out what they need to do to try and help you save their BCS bid? Thank you on your time.

Andrea Adelson: Brutus, welcome into the amazing planet of the Big East , in which football/basketball disorder rules. That is one of the most important explanation why the actual league is definitely on your verge regarding collapse. Big East followers have been bashing their heads trying to figure out the reason why on earth field hockey offers any say. The reality is, i thought this was some sort of basketball league first, along with previous traditions will be very difficult in order to break. It looks like the league will not be capable of figure out of which football have got to come first. The hockey universities sense needed the same say simply because they is going to be competing alongside several of the newest developments throughout hoops. So they want to make sure their own product or service is probably since good not having Pitt plus Syracuse. Many have got thought about why there's no split. Unless issues devolve possibly further, I imagine the league keeps together.

Patrick inside D.C. writes: AA, enjoy your blog. Three applying for grants expansion: 1) How much, in case any, would you think the hazard connected with major legal cases out of Big East educational facilities have fun with inside their possiblity to glide throughout the next evaluation? 2) Seems like the possibility to boot out Notre Dame provides exceeded it could likely backfire, oftentimes producing in UConn that will ACC does one think this specific has been discussed? 3) The Big East shouldn't add Boise State. Though an awesome football school, I will not identify that being a steady situation. The meeting is definitely developed all around custom in addition to valid rivalries are the nearly all insulated. This excellent would seem following merely for you to money.

Adelson: Thanks regarding reading, Patrick. 1) I possess noticed a lot with debate regarding this. The Utah attorney typical has threatened an antitrust suit resistant to the BCS, too. That obviously is different because non-AQs have never been recently stripped of a vehicular bid. But I can actually declare I have no concept no matter if your endangered legal action will grant this Big East to keep onto AQ status. The BCS is pretty confident the item supplies programs to any or all educational facilities and conferences. Bill Hancock explained to the Department regarding Justice and so within a meeting this particular past the summer months . 2) I don't think the Big East was ever previously gonna drag out Notre Dame. I imagine your Big East needs to become more anxious with regards to the league falling a part plus Notre Dame taking their companies into the ACC. 3) I don't think Boise State will be some sort of solution, either. I don't believe either facet benefits unless we have a confirmed AQ bid for the Big East. Rivalries have absent away the eyeport in the Big East. Once Pitt leaves, it is possible to nearly all unhealthy rivalry game left?

Justin Vaughan in Tacoma, Wash., writes: I have a single simple question. Why is just not Geno Smith upon a person's Heisman radar? He's easily among the list of top 5 quarterbacks while in the nation. I might realize that their quarterback score and also his or her completion proportion isn't really while large when let's say Kellen Moore , but doesn't he or she ought to get no less than one mention?

Adelson: His team incorporates a loss, plus there exists a perception that they are some sort of process quarterback. If an individual have a look, Case Keenum are certainly not described from the Heisman conversation, either. Both are usually on undefeated teams and ordinary more spending meters per activity than Smith. All several are already Dana Holgorsen disciples.

Rick around Dallas writes: You've spoke about Boise arriving at the Big East as being a football solely team, but this not necessarily getting plenty of BCS muscle. They may not come, although could BYU create more than enough to be able to help? Would they think of the idea with regard to football only?

Adelson: BYU includes not any BCS appearances, so that they wouldn't normally help about Boise. The a pair of of them with each other surely might include far more muscle. But BYU is apparently content being an independent. It includes its very own TV station and also its very own TV deal with ESPN. Why does it need the Big East?

Bob inside Leesburg, Va., writes:Hi Andrea, Thought I'd drop these types of stats your way intended for comment. . WVU vs. LSU Total Offense: 533 yards. Total First Downs: 28. Total Points: 21. Mississippi State, Kentucky, as well as Florida (combined) vs LSU: Total Offense: 561 yards. Total First Downs: 35. Total Points: 24. Just saying.

Adelson: And yet, West Virginia still lost.
