St. John's v. Syracuse

[Goose85]

Looks like Cuse will get to play in The Garden next year after all. St. John's and Syracuse agreed to a home and home starting next year.

IWB said it looks like no go for MU v. Louisville.

Is Notre Dame the preferred non conference game for MU?
If ND doesn't work, would next on MU fans list be Cincy?

[IWB]

Wow - if they have already agreed, sounds like 'Cuse is leaving a year early?

[IWB]

...or is this the last year they are supposed to be in the conference? Can't remember who announced their departure when and who has already cut deals to leave early.

Last year in the conference -- ACC football schedule has Pitt/Syracuse on it for this fall.

This is the final year for both Syracuse and Pitt. The others have at least one more year in the Big East.

Syracuse announced their departure, with Pitt, last summer. (That is one year early.) Louisville is still around in 2013-14.

[Goose85]

Syracuse and Pitt had to pay up to leave early. Louisville and ND are in the Big East next year as it Rutgers.

[IWB]

I guess I didn't realize the higher buyout for Syracuse & Pitt had been finalized. Thanks
