I really hope SLU gets in for a number of reasons.
1. The Billiken is the most outrageous mascot on the planet.
2. It's really fun to say SLU as a word. "Nova is playing Slew tonight, should be a great game"
3. You guys have that weird arch thing they always show in the background when they do the "This game is brought to you by..." part of a televised sporting event.
4. Oatmeal.
5. Although I'm sure they exist, I am yet to meet a SLU fan that was an asshat. You all seem very respectful thus far.
See? You guys are in... I should mail this list to Jay Wright...

The first is that this is considered a split and both the "America 12" and the Big East are continuations of the old conference. The second is that the new Big East is the sole continuation and the "America 12" is considered a brand new conference.
If the "America 12" is being considered a new conference, all of their record books start from scratch. So having the rights to the history of Big East football is meaningless.
If this is legally considered a split, I imagine the history and records could be split as well, football history going to the "America 12" and everything else going to the Big East.
I'm still reading up on this and haven't found anything definitive, but this is what I've gathered so far. Will be interesting to see how this all ends up.

Not a problem.
Providence president Fr. Brian Shanley said on a teleconference Wednesday. "The Big East will just keep going on, being the inheritor if you will, of the traditions and the records of the conference."
