EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Fresh off two defections that shattered the conference, the Big East has little time to regroup if it wants to maintain its status as a major player in college football.
At the conference's final football media day before powerhouses Miami and Virginia Tech bolt, commissioner Mike Tranghese said the remaining 12 schools need to decide soon whether they want to stay together or split into two conferences -- one that plays football and one that doesn't.
"That's the first question that has to be answered," Tranghese said Wednesday. "We can't proceed until we have that answer."
