I am starting to think Beebe will be around for a year or permanently. While there were many knocks on him in the B12, I believe his strength is being a good administrator from his NCAA days and that appears to be what they want. Also, he did the Fox deal for the B12 so he may have some good faith there as it is clear that Fox will be calling the shots in Year 1. Why do I think that he will be around? The schools obviously don't think the commisioner is a priority and there seems to be steady progress behind the scenes on scheduling.

I guess the big question is what happens July 1 when the current Big East support staff goes away? Is there a deal to split the staff with the AAC?
