Boston College-irrelevant
Pitt-soon to be irrelevant. Northern East Coast recruits have turned their backs on them.
Syracuse-wins vacated
Rutgers-pick a transgression and they have been irrelevant for years.
Miami-dominated in football in the BEast. Now just another team in the watered done ACC.
Virginia Tech-see Miami
Now Louisville-prostitution etc.
The hits just keep coming!!!!!!!!!
The Beast is doing just fine without this nonsense. I cant say enough great things about the direction of our league. We are starting to scratch the surface of our recruiting. We will be at a superior level very soon. If St. John's does what I think they'll do, it will help the conference tremendously. Can't ignore NYC! Those St. John's, Georgetown, Nova, Marquette (Wojo) recruiting battles should be epic.
I think the statement about the recruiting is iffy at best. The P5 are going to get theirs at least as much as they've already gotten. Maybe we can get more top guys that have been going to AAC, A10, MWC, etc. type of schools.

Also Redman shows how little he knows about stuff....
his list of programs that doesn't get much from the P5-
in ESPN top 100
Virginia Tech- had 1 last year
Oregon- had 2 guys last year, 1 this year
Oregon St- had 2 guys last year
Washington- has 1 guy this year(#12), 3 last year
Rutgers- had 1 guy last year
Florida St- had 3 guys last year(to include #14), 3 this year(to include #9)
Akabama- has 1 guy this year(#9), 1 last year
Auburn(this is the dumbest one)- 2 last year, 2 this year(to include one that he chose over St John's).
and that's just part of his list... Sure some are lower. But my point is the P5 is going to always have like what we've seen the past few years with 65 guys in 2014 and 83 guys in 2015. They have 45 this year so far- with 35 guys left to go. So they're going to be right in the middle of those numbers again this year.
The thing also- of the 19 top 50 guys left, Big East is in only 4 of those battles. and only 10 of the top 100. So assuming the Big East gets all 10 of those- the P5 would be looking at 70 this year.
Also the thing is, if the Big East gets guys that have been going to the AAC, A10, etc.- that's an upgrade in recruiting. 11 top 100 guys going to non P5/BE schools in the '16 class so far. If we got a good deal of those- That's a big upgrade.

And if these stories are true, Louisville will be sanctioned by the NCAA as well. Must be a coincidence.
