From Boston.com (http://www.boston.com/sports/colleges/articles/2008/06/05/big_east_commissioner_tranghese_to_announce_retire ment_today/)
"Saying it was simply time to do something else, Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese will announce his retirement later today, ending a reign of 19 years in which Tranghese guided development of the Big East basketball conference into a 16-team super league and oversaw the creation of the Big East football conference into a competitive 8-team league, which took a full body blow five years ago when three of its members -- Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech -- jumped to the Atlantic Coast Conference, but has still managed to survive, if not thrive."
Implosion on the horizon? Who they promote will have a big effect on basketball in my opinion.
