Temple could be next to join Big East; conference hopes it can be for 2012

Speaking in basketball terms only. ...

All things considered the Big East will have done a pretty good replacing its 3 losses, Pitt (ACC), Syracuse (ACC) and West Virginia (Big 12). Certainly not an equal trade, but both Temple and Memphis are excellent basketball programs (with tradition) and should compete well in the Big East.

I suspect in the end all these changes will happen for the 2012-13 season, not the 2014-15 season as is the current plan. Look for Pitt & Syracuse to be in the ACC next season.

I can't even keep track of this anymore.

I'm trying, but it's getting more difficult.

I hope the Big East Tournament remains at Madison Square Garden. It'd be a crying shame if they played it anywhere else, even without Syracuse's legion of fans.
