More Conference Shifting Going on

Well, there's talk of more conference shifting going on. Specifically, as the Commissioner of the Big East is retiring, there is talk of a basketball league and a football league emerging there.

The article linked above does not have the Big East raiding the MAC...three of the four teams are C-USA (Memphis, Southern Miss and Central Florida). This is a blow to the delusions of grandeur for Miami and Toledo, both of whom fancy themselves as targets.

For the MAC, the question is what would come next? Would C-USA then come and try to bring some MAC teams into that conference? Who knows. MAC fans have contempt for C-USA but it has more financial clout and more major metro areas, even after the Big East raid.

Who knows. Time will tell.
