Guys, guys, wait! You've got it all wrong. DeFilippo didn't really say that ESPN was the puppetmaster in the latest expansion decisions.

I remember de Flippo from WBNS-TV channel 10, I never did think he would be a good college president:

See? You've got it all wrong. ESPN is completely blameless in this matter. No need at all for anyone to get all lawyered up now.

ESPN sent Craig James over to speak with DeFilippo privately for 15min in a dark storage room.

The Big East is apparently begging Truck Driver U. to come on board. They are the walking dead of BCS conferences. Would somebody please walk up behind them and put a bullet into their skull.

Do bullets even work on zombies?

BIG EAST Commissioner John Marinatto: "Look into your heart, ESPiN, Look into your heart!"

ESPiN: "What heart?"

That's the problem. There are no brains in the Big East. See also: Toledo v. Syracuse.

Big East doubling exit fee, inviting more schools to join the league.

NEW YORK -- The Big East plans to invite Boise State, Air Force and Navy as football-only members, and Central Florida to compete in all sports, after it doubles the exit fee for current members to $10 million, a conference official told The Associated Press.

Big East officials were meeting with UCF representatives on Friday, as the conference closed in on extending formal invitations for expansion, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad. A conference call of Big East presidents and chancellors was scheduled for later Friday, the source said.
