Conference expansion would have always killed a Northeastern conference. Had going past 10 schools never happened, we could have had...

FB- Penn State, SU, BC, Pitt, WV, VA Tech, Temple, RU, Army, Navy

BBall (Army/Navy out) - 8 above + St Johns and Georgetown

Does that kill Nova and UConn BBall, if there never was a Big East? Both might have zero titles right now. They were pulled up by SU, St Johns, and Georgetown. I think those three have the same success either way.

If the above was our conference in 1980, what happens in 1990? I think the B1G still goes after Penn State but do they stop there instead of going to 12 and a conference championship game? They added Penn State only because of the Indy status in FB. If they were in a conference maybe the B1G takes a partner too. Which most likely would have been SU. Also at that point VA Tech never becomes VA Tech.

The chain reaction from not having a FB first Northeastern conference would have been something.
