American Athletic Conference

I don't think there is anything they can do to fix the FS1 ratings problem. The #1 and #5 teams just played the highest rated conference game in FS1 history and it was about the same # of viewers as UNLV/Wichita State. We do fine in the ratings department but a Wichita State/Creighton game isn't going to start suddenly attracting millions of viewers. Fox took a risk on the Big East and it hasn't paid off.

I think the Big East took a risk on Fox, and it hasn't paid off. FS1 is a tertiary channel to WAY too many people.

ESPN might be getting ratings but they are in trouble as well. Losing subscribers by the millions.

Has this article been mentioned? Nothing on the front burner regarding expansion according to the Big East head man.

I’ve said all along these ‘big’ (outrageous) TV deals are going to come back and bite someone in the ass.

You guys are using the wrong logic. You need to use Missouri State fan logic- It's not what you hear, it's what you don't. That gets you to the Sun Belt right there, baby!

For the record, I'd love for the Shockers to be added to the Big East!

What is this soccer everyone keeps referring to? Is it an entre choice at the Kung Wu Chinese Restaurant. And if I choose that do I get it with sweet and sour sauce or do I get egg roll.

It's a new fan drug and a whole 'nother line of sweet Shocker gear that'll be available for Christmas!

I'm ok with the big east. I'd love being able to go see the Shox in Omaha again. But this soccer talk. Please bardo don't do it. Add any other sport but not that one.

Are you just joshin' or serious?

I'm dead serious. You might love soccer but I hate it. Matter of opinion.

I would love to be in the BIG YEAST. Not only could I yell at the Creighton priest again, there could be like 7 or 8 more priest show up to be badgered!!

[60Shock]

I would not even give a damn if we had to field a Tiddlywinks team it that was the requirement to satisfy a Big East expansion invitation.

If we get invited to the Big East, I can tell the one about the pope and Raquel Welch!

"Those aren't buoys!"

A little non-sequitur. I was at my kids basketball game tonight, waiting for it to start. There was a girls game still going on, as usual, very sloppy. My son turns to me and said, "Dad, these girls got no handles." I replied, "You're wrong, each of them have two." My wife escorted me to the lobby and chewed my ass for five minutes.
