beginning in 2012. I guess they were getting tired of the non-AQ slams and wanted to join a conference with an automatic qualification clause in the BCS contract.

Although the Big East champion this year might be screwed out of the Fiesta - it looks like most people are predicting Stanford will meet the Big 12 champion instead.

Would be nice to go up against Stanford though, rather than a Big East champion with at least 3 losses.
