[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Wichita State, Creighton, Bradley possibly in discussions to join up with BB Only Big East Schools Seton Hall, St. John's, DePaul, Marquette, and Providence and in talks to expand with some A-10 schools to form Basketball Superconference.

Only scuttlebutt at this point, but first mention I have heard about Wichita State.

I see Butler going with Villanova, Georgetown, SIU, Missouri State, etc as they all have football programs of some sort.

There's also been talk of a rumor that WSU will be apart of a non-football B-12 on NCAAbbs thread about conference realignment.

The University of Oklahoma is considering remaining in the Big 12, but only in a “reformed” version of the conference that includes hard and fast rules for Texas' Longhorn Network and removal of Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, a high-ranking Big 12 source told The Oklahoman on Tuesday.

So we'd be looking at...
Creighton
Wichita State
Bradley

DePaul
Marquette
Providence
St. Johns
Seton Hall

I'm not sure which A10 teams play football I'm guessing they'd want 4 more to get to 12? But possible attractive schools would be

Charlotte
Dayton
Richmond
St. Joseph
Temple
UMass
Xavier

No Georgetown or Nova? I've heard talk about Nova moving their football to FBS. Does Georgetown play?

I wouldn't mind seeing an East/West split

East:
Providence
Seton Hall
St. Johns
St. Joes
UMass
Dayton

West:
Wichita State
Creighton
Bradley
DePaul
Marquette
Xavier

Not sure Xavier and Dayton would be fans of being split up though.

All this talk is fun. I'd love to see something happen to put us in a better basketball conference. But I'll believe it when I see it.

If it's a basketball only conference we might get KU and Iowa St too.

[_kai_]

So are there any links to the Big East/MVC/A10 merger? Or is this just a pipe dream?

There's also been talk of a rumor that WSU will be apart of a non-football B-12 on NCAAbbs thread about conference realignment.

My understanding is that originated from speculation by MSU's radio guy on a Springfield radio show.

[wufan]

Same guy that had MSU to Conference USA? Shoot!

LOL. I guess we can put that to rest.

After hitting a little 'shine, I'd make lots of predections that were nigh impossible.

almost all of the big east basketball members seem to wish it to be solely Xavier and Butler but here is what Katz threw out there tonight. Small variations of this have popped up all day...
