... a guess by the writer or inside knowledge?

"Though some may wonder why Yacoubou would transfer to SLU, there are two very apparent reasons. First, Saint Louis will be in the Big East and provide the guard with countless marquis match-ups. Second..."

can't see the whole article darn insider privileges. My guess is that it could be true. Once UofL and Rutgers go in 2014 the BE will need some non-revs Slu figures to fill up those sports nicely and the rumor for a long time was 10 then 12 in 2014 (as much as i hoped it was wrong). The playing time is pretty sure though. St. Louis drops 5 players next year so there should be some solid minutes left on the table in '14. Looks like a solid decision.

What sports do you think Louisville and Rutgers will need replacements for? I don't think the loss of those two will change which sports have at least 6 and which do not.

Field Hockey and lacrosse if figure they will want to keep the league on evens. sure makes scheduling easier.
