Big East Invites Schools to Conference

The Big East has invited five universities to join its conference. The universities are UCF (all sports), Houston (all sports), SMU (all sports), Boise St. (football only), and Air Force (football only). These schools have been informed that if they accept, the Big East would raise there exit fees to $10 million, which is a 100% increase. They have also extended an invite to Navy for football only. If Navy does not accept the offer Temple is next in line. One problem for Boise St. and Air Force is if they accept they would have to wait for the NCAA to vote to change a rule stating that no school can be in one confernce for football and another for its other sports. If these schools accept the Big East will soon have schools as far west as Colorado and Idaho.

Lil Romeo does commercial for ICDC College

Rapper Lil Romeo has been spotted in a commercial promoting ICDC College. ICDC is a school that is known for its fast track diploma program. Recently the commercial has made its way to youtube and has not received a good response. The commercial raises a few eyebrows because Lil Romeo is a college drop out (he dropped out of USC) and he is seen rapping (actually you could call it singing) in the commercial, which comes off as somewhat of a joke. So now the question is will the school drop the commercial due to its negative response?
