Report: Creighton to Big East; Evansville to Horizon

[shoxrox]

"Today" is a pretty big word. Why would you say an announcement was going to happen today if it wasn't going to happen today?

I say this because normally Reynolds was a pretty respectable media beat writer, but I guess he too might like being caught in the "first to report" storm.

Just zip it if it's not 100% fact you're hearing or if it's not coming STRAIGHT from the source, say a university president or AD. That's all.

Interested to hear what the UE fan reaction to the "jump" to the horizon. Happy, Sad, Elated, Nuetral

It's likely a smokescreen as we move to the Atlantic 10.

Ok it's just as likely as the Horizon

I wonder if the big east survivors would come looking at teams like NIU or ISU to maintain a Chicagoland connection.

I wonder if the big east survivors would come looking at teams like UNI or ISU to maintain a Chicagoland connection.

I'm assuming you meant Northern Illinois and the site autocorrected the abbreviation to UNI. Obviously the Panthers have no Chicagoland connection.

Did not know the site did that, but correct, I meant Northern Illinois. Either way, because of location and size, the redbirds may see some interesting opportunities from this now that DePaul is leaving. Any football conference surviving this will want to bring in the Chicagoland TV and recruiting market.
