In the mega conference era we haven't been very consistent. In a Franken Big 12 we would have major disadvantages being in a conference with mostly non like schools.

Instead of a merged ACC/B12, I would like to see both realize that they are better off staying apart and trading programs based on location.

The Big East 2.0 would have 7 of 8 schools leftover. Ironically the worst program in the bunch would be in the P2. If you add BC from the OG Big East, UCF, and ACC leftover Wake, then you have a nice regional ACC.

Yes, the Big East 2.0 stunk. I wouldn't ever choose that to be SU's fate. But if you are left behind every option will suck.

For both sports you would have a bunch of traditional rivals. You have mostly like schools which makes it easier to compete. For BBall you have a few top programs which keeps respectability, and a few cupcakes to keep the top programs at decent records.

For the B12 you have a bunch of OG B12 teams, and OG SWC/new B12 teams in TCU, Houston, SMU that should get you to 10. If not there are a few schools in that region to fill the conference.

OG Big East BBall (4/9): BC, UConn, SU, Pitt
Big East 2.0 BBall (5/14): BC, UConn, SU, Pitt, West Virginia
OG Big East FB (4/8): BC, SU, Pitt, West Virginia
Big East 2.0 FB (7/8): UConn, SU, Pitt, West Virginia, Cincy, Louisville, USF
ACC 4.0 (5/14): Wake, BC, SU, Pitt, Louisville
