Big East Only AQ Conference Without A Tie-In To A Major Bowl
by themush 07-07-2012, 12:17 PM


Big East interim commissioner Joe Bailey told ESPN.com on Friday he has no concerns about his league getting into high-level bowl games or the future four-team playoff despite access questions that have cropped up this week. The recent news that the ACC has renewed its partnership with the Discover Orange Bowl means the Big East remains the only conference among the current top six without a tie-in to one of the high-level bowl games when the new system begins in 2014. As it stands, the Big East gains automatic entry into the BCS as an at-large team. No such guarantee would exist for the league after the BCS expires, unless it is able to wrangle a tie-in to one of the elite games. The new system will feature six top-tier games and a selection committee that chooses teams for the playoffs and those bowl games.

Big East is hanging on by a thread. I just can't see how it's going to keep it's schools from moving their football programs to other conferences. As far as the schools and basketball I don't see any of them jumping ship.

The Big East is a basketball conference first and football is a distant second.
