The Big East is not expanding, the Big Ten...

is.  Notre Dame is finally joining the Big Ten in all sports.  Memphis is replacing Notre Dame, therefore, when the Big East officials say they arent expanding, their being truthful. 

That doesn't conflict with the first post in this thread...

However, where are these credible reports? Teh voices?

oh i'm sorry hillbilly...thats pretty much what you said

I do believe that the Memphis-to-the-Big East talk is serious, and that it's going to happen.  However, I seriously doubt that the Big East is going to dump Notre Dame's basketball team.  Having it gives them an in as far as eventually getting Notre Dame as a full member goes.  It's more likely that the BE will kick out one of the smaller basketball-only schools.

Marquette?

I could see Notre Dame bolting for a real conference, like the Big Ten, myself. The Big Feast is a waste of time for those dudes....

The Big East is not throwing out ND, ND is just joining the Big Ten.

No link, I just know that ECU is trying to get into the fray when the Big East adds Memphis, thats why you have heard the reports about ECU as a football only member and Memphis as a full member.

No one from the Big Ten or ND has said anything, which doesnt surprise me, most knew that when it happened, it would be a surprise.
