Is this the end game? Depends on whether ESPN wants to crush the Big East once and for all. The way to do that of course would be to stop Tim Pernetti, the one man who has kept the Big East afloat over the past year as Providence worked to destroy the conference. Rutgers is a clear choice in football obviously, and with Jim Calhoun near retirement, let's hope that if the ACC makes a basketball decision, it's a little more muddled. I actually like the fact that Notre Dame is leaving the Big East from a basketball perspective, as anything that hurts the league's basketball programs relatively is a good. However, this will hurt the football teams' bowl access.

Notre Dame is moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference in every sport except football, where the Fighting Irish will maintain their status as an independent.

Here's my interview with Syracuse's SB Nation Blog, Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician. We talk Virginia Tech, Syracuse and their entry into the ACC. We will also have them answer some questions about Syracuse over the weekend. Stay tuned!

The University of Pittsburgh is going to court in hopes of expediting its exit from the Big East...The central issue is the way the Big East handled West Virginia's and TCU's departure. "By failing to require WVU to provide 27 months' notice of withdrawal, the Big East knowingly and intentionally waived any right to enforce a 27-month withdrawal period," Pitt wrote in court papers.

The cancellation fee for the 2013 and 2014 rivalry renewals just went up to $3,000,000. I'd say both athletic directors are pretty serious when they say these games are going to happen. Go 'Dawgs!

I sat down with John Cassillo over at Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician to discuss the BC-Syracuse rivalry and the Orange moving to the ACC ... soon.

Bud Elliot of Tomahawk Nation: In order to preserve seven home games, FSU and Clemson, both in the Atlantic Division, and both with road games in odd years at UF and South Carolina, respectively, need the Atlantic division to play its five home games in odd numbered years. Georgia Tech has the same need in the Coastal, only reversed, as they play at Georgia in even years. The solution is obvious and I have a lot of faith that the ACC will get this right.
