Big East Sues Texas Christian University For $5 Million

The conference shuffle continues to get messy with the Big East suing Texas Christian University (TCU) seeking $5,000,000 for breach of contract.  On November 29, 2010, TCU agreed to leave the Mountain West Conference for the Big East.  This move was to take place before the 2012 football season.  In the contract, TCU agreed that if it failed to join the Big East by July 1, 2012 it would pay the conference $5,000,000.  TCU never joined the conference.  On October 11, 2011, TCU informed the Big East...

Earlier today, the Mountain West Conference released a new logo and theme. Unfortunately, the logo and theme are about as unimaginative as the Conference’s new tagline “This is our Time” and nickname “The Rock.” The release, which was supposed to mark a new era for a Conference that has only been around for 13-years, is somewhat of a disappointment.

U can’t touch this

From Miami’s opening TD drive to its aggressive defense, the Pittsburgh Panthers did not stand a chance of winning Thursday night’s game. The Hurricanes dominated on both sides of the ball trouncing the Panthers 31-3. Miami’s Jacory Harris wasn’t perfect as his tendency to throw interceptions haunted him again, but he did come out of Heinz Field the victor. Despite two picks, Harris was an impressive 21 of 32 for 2 TDs and 248 yards. Harris did give the...

The prognosis for Griffin is at least 6-8 weeks plus recovery time to get back into playing shape. However, Holtz is confident Griffin will return to the field at some point during...
