I have been told discussions are ongoing as to how the conference will transition to a 9 game schedule. We may simply see one more conference game next year which necessitates buying out of an OOC game or assisting the dropped opponent in finding a suitable replacement. In that instance we would most likely drop [USER=10275]Uconn[/USER] or home against Toledo depending on whether the additional game is home or away. That would leave the home schedule at seven games. 
The other option is to completely scrap the existing conference schedule including the Notre Dame matchups and rebuilding from ground zero. Whenever that happens, likely not until 2027, I have been told that we have strongly requested that the Pitt and BC games are split with one on the road and one at home each year. Of course that assumes we play both every year.

Biggest hurdle right now is looking at the buyout options and mitigating the financial impact of dropping out of conference opponents. My information is dated but at the time it was discussed each school would be on their own facilitating buy outs. There would be cooperation between schools to attempt to coordinate matching up affected opponents but no direct involvement or recompense from the conference.
