There is also a rumor floating around that the Big East may add UCF and Temple (as all sports members) and give a Big East Network a try. Kind of a surprise to see Temple over Memphis (big, new market, one of the best basketball draws around), since Villanova seemed to block them out from being a full member last time around. I'm not sure what type of money a BEN would bring, but it would be cool to see some of the old basketball games.  |
Ummm...didn't see Missouri mentioned. They have research capabilities that would blow your effing mind.
