That article with the Air Force AD sounds like a bunch of BS circle talk... "Yea, disappointed with other AD's... Afraid of Big 12 & mad about all this disloyalty because of TV contracts, but moving to Big East and somehow want to keep rivalries...hope no one will hate us, please?"

Essentially doing the exact same thing every other school is doing - looking out for themselves, but being dumber by turning down around $12 million extra in order to join a dying league - not to mention sacrificing other sports like soccer that were mentioned.. Nut up and join the Big 12, improve your other facilities and compete in legit conference or stay practically irrelevant in the MWC who is already better than the Big East.

Makes no sense to me. What is the benefit of moving to the Big East? AQ status that will probably be revoked? And they do realize they can schedule their buddies Army and Navy as OCC still, right?

The Memphis AD, RC Johnson, is a bigger idiot. They are lucky not to be demoted to the Sun Belt.
