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?

Why is it an issue? Do you really understand the ramifications or do you just love freaking out?

Thanks for proving my point.

Let's play a little hypothetical game. Let's say the new Big East had inherited Aresco and the staff in place. Let's say the AAC was like the Big East right now -- no commissioner, no office, no nothing. We'd all think they were crazy and wondering what the hell their problem is.

It's not supposed to be the responsibility of school AD staffs to handle scheduling and all the other responsibilities that go with running a conference. That's the responsibility of the league office and staff. I assume the 10 schools are highly frustrated with the current setup.

Saw that MU Volleyball has their schedule all set. Volleyball Conference Championship in Omaha. So, progress is being made for the Fall sports.

I'm getting season-tickets for volleyball. MU has a very touch schedule. Penn State in Florida and USC & Florida coming to the Al!

Beebe's problem is that he got caught in a power struggle between Texas and A&M, Nebraska, etc. He was the fall guy.

To be honest, I don't think I would think all that hard about it.

A solid bargain at $30.00 for a season pass to watch NCAA tournament level competition. Very entertaining.

It's great when people just admit their own ignorance and lack of knowledge about certain topics. You should try it sometime!

Whatever, forget it. There is clearly nothing wrong with not having a conference staff or office for something that starts up in 3 weeks. No problem at all!! Keep your head buried in the sand.

Keep your head buried in the sand.

Just stop. Do you know anything about what is going on behind the scenes? Do you know what they have contracted with Beebe's group to do? Do you know what the priorities of the presidents are for the conference? Do you know what work Fox Sports might be doing to aid the conference?

My answers to these questions are...no...no...no...and no. I'm pretty sure that you would answer them similarly.

So it is hard for me to shriek from the rooftop when I have no idea what is going on.

Yes, it is difficult to criticize when one has no facts. Though, it is appropriate tobe concerned given the short time frame without permanent leadership or staff. Guess we'll just have to see what transpires.
