Per one of the posters on the Boneyard (UConn forum) Duke, UNC and Virginia have contacted Big East officials about possible talks in joining the Big East. If this is true, I think we have to do all we can as a conference to bring them in. Florida State and Clemson are already trying to leave the ACC, it only makes sense that those primarily basketball-first schools are looking to hitch-on to their next best option at this point, if they can't get into the Big Ten or SEC like FL State and Clemson are attempting currently.
Also, Kentucky is allegedly offering Hurley 11 million per year/ 7 year contract. I hope that UConn will be able to keep him. If we keep Hurley in the Big East and somehow add a combo of Duke/UNC/Virginia, it will reinforce the strength of the conference. ACC may be the next to fall after the Pac-12 in this new wild wild west.
