I got lots of flack when conference realignment was the main topic years ago for saying that the Big East, basketball only teams, would be fine. The basketball onlys were getting dragged down in the old Big East as much as the football programs were in the old Big East. They had to spend conference time, money, effort discussing and keeping the football programs happy when their only common financial concern was basketball. Basketball is and will always be king at those schools, they all now have that common goal and don’t have to divert time, concern, money over a sport, football, they had no reason to even care about other than appeasing the football schools. I doubt they miss having to worry about things like concussion protocols and lawsuits, facility wars, marketing etc. They are all located in major media cities , have strong basketball program legacies and are realistic in acknowledging their fiscal and athletic limitations. The only programs that ‘lost out’ or at least didn’t gain with the realignment were UConn, Cincinnati , South Florida.
