The Charleston Gazette reported that the Big East's contract with the BCS is solid through 2013.
BCS officials reaffirmed the participation of the six leagues currently involved through the end of the 2013 season. That includes the Big East.
The reinvention of the league since the 2003 purge is complete. And one can now call it a complete success.
The reason is simple: no one noticed the news. No one questioned the Big East's place at the adult table. The reaffirmation wasn't even a note in BCS meeting coverage.
"It was quiet,'' Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese said Tuesday. "The way I like it."
It was both quiet and satisfying.
Just like the unreported numbers-crunching that led to the reaffirmation.
"We had a formal [evaluation] process in December," Tranghese said. "No one made much of it. All of us [BCS officials] elected not to make a big deal of it.''
That's how Tranghese promised the process would be handled right after details of the three-pronged evaluation process were announced a few years back.
"We've been careful not to discuss specifics too much because we don't want the media to speculate," said the commissioner.
Mission accomplished.- Charleston Gazette May 8, 2008
Tis great news for us all that the media isn't even covering the issue. I guess it helps that we have gone perfect 3-0 in BCS bowl games since the ACC Raid. Oh and by the way during the same period the ACC has gone a perfect 0-3.
