The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

New magazine in town and this is not what you think. This is not Dana Holgorsen moving into his new pad — but it is a pretty neat publication. Reminds me of “Newport Living.”

As for me, today is the day I actually, physically, literally leave town and today is the day the Big East brass has its most potentially consequential meeting as it relates to conference affiliation and expansion.

The premise is to address the exit fees and exit schedule and any adjustments will require a 75-percent vote, one in which the basketball-only schools get to participate. If it passes, it’s obviously a big step in solidifying the Big East because you’ll see the $5 million hiked way up, perhaps three times that. If it doesn’t, well, quite the opposite and not only do you begin to doubt whether Air Force and Army, let alone Boise State or UCF, will join, but you wonder why TCU hurried out the door, too. It’s hard to keep secrets.

That said, even if it does pass — and when I say “it,” I’m not exactly sure what “it” will be because “it” can take on different and negotiated forms — let’s note who participated and who voted for and against.

After that, enjoy your weekend. I think we’ll begin to fill in some major blanks next week.
