There would be an issue getting the old Big East six away from the new Big East five. I suppose the oldies could leave and we can create a new conference (or invite them to the leftovers in the ACC).

BC, UConn, Georgetown, PC, St Johns, Hall, SU, Nova, Pitt can all get back together again. Duke might be able to join as well. That is about as good as you can get for BBall.

But then there is a FB problem. BC, UConn, SU, Pitt, Duke wouldn't be enough. If you could convince Nova to make the FBS jump and also add Army and Navy then you can have a full conference. Adding any other team (USF, FAU, ECU, JMU) would just dilute the BBall product.

Although if you are keeping the ACC you would might be forced to keep Wake. But you can still be at a round robin in BBall and have 8 FB games which would help.

If Nova says no to the FBS move, could you convince Temple to go back to the A10 in BBall and be FB only? They stick out like a sore thumb in the new AAC.

Also you might be able to convince JMU as a FB only and go back to the CAA for other sports. That would fill in a hole in the FB map and get you to 9 conference games so you aren't chasing as many OOC fills. It allows JMU to be out of the Sun Belt mess for non FB. The CAA fits them better.

This isn't a money maker by any means but it certainly would be more enjoyable then the Big Franken 12. And we could occasionally make the FB playoffs.

FB
Pitt/SU, BC/UConn, Army/Navy, Nova (or Temple)/JMU, Duke/Wake

BBall
Duke, UConn, Nova, SU, Georgetown, St Johns, Pitt, BC, Providence, Seton Hall, Wake
