prebilliken Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 A Jersey Guy just made another C7 update in his latest blog post, makes no mention of any expansion past 10, ever. I know he is just he has been so so in the past and none of this is concrete, don't jump down my throat, just attempting to keep aggregating all of the possible updates into this thread. http://ajerseyguy.com/?p=5731 Personally, I don't believe we will know anything until after this is a National Champion.

TRN Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 They will end up going to 12, whether it's in 2013 or 2014. Fox wants that number and will pay for it, they need 12 teams to fill content and cover more markets. Fox wants to compete with ESPN, is paying big money and will get their number in the end.

I agree. The only thing I don't get, thought I agree with the sentiments of big business decisions being played close to the chest, is why, when everything else has leaked on this topic, has the number of teams not been leaked yet? That's really all that concerns or confuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I agree. The only thing I don't get, thought I agree with the sentiments of big business decisions being played close to the chest, is why, when everything else has leaked on this topic, has the number of teams not been leaked yet? That's really all that concerns or confuses me. Most reports have said the league will eventually go to 12. Somebody must have leaked that detail right? Jersey guy is clearly connected when it comes to the American 12 teams and that is really where most of his breaking news has come. I'm pretty sure when it comes to the big east teams he just repeats what others have said with little additional value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniorbill76 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I talked to my high-powered sources at our weekly power lunch yesterday. The lunch was at a very fancy restaurant that smelled of rich mahogany. Long story short, we're in. Were there many leather-bound books?

You might remember him as this guy: In addition, Notre Dame has both D1 hockey as well as "club" hockey which is D2 (same as SLU, Lindenwood, MO State, Mizzou, Indiana, etc.) In fact, I was at ND a few months back, and noticed curling markings on the ice of their second ice rink (a really impressive, brand new on-campus building which houses both sheets of ice and located not far from the football stadium) so I presume they have curling as well.

BillikenFriar Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 True enough but the big east doesn't house hockey, so that isn't a factor. ND (and uconn) is joining the hockey east next year. The HE is the best league in the country and currently includes Providence as the only BE school. In addition, Notre Dame has both D1 hockey as well as "club" hockey which is D2 (same as SLU, Lindenwood, MO State, Mizzou, Indiana, etc.) In fact, I was at ND a few months back, and noticed curling markings on the ice of their second ice rink (a really impressive, brand new on-campus building which houses both sheets of ice and located not far from the football stadium) so I presume they have curling as well.

Mobile-iken Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Who knows? The point is that nobody knows at this point. Dayton going in this year is something that hasn't been mentioned yet,at least from what I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Why the hell would Dayton go in before us? If the 2 Mill buy out is an issue for us why not them? We ought to be a hotter commodity after the run this year...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Dayton joining this year without SLU would suck. Travel for all sports would become even worse and exactly who would we be excited about playing next year in the A10? No X, Butler, Temple, or Dayton on the schedule. VCU would be a big game, but that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCU would be a big game, but that is it. +1 That would be a brutal lame duck year. We lose all three easy road trips. We'll have to go full force at Valpo. Plus, we're a senior-laden team next year with a chance to be special. I'd hate to waste that in our last year of a seriously down A10. Not to mention what our roster could look like in the first year of Big East play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a lame duck final season in the A10, I wonder if any of the C7 + 3 schools would throw us a bone and schedule non-conference games with us.
