I understand perfectly.

I just think you're wrong about this. The evolution of the super conferences is completely independent from the success or failure of the Big East conference. There are only four truly viable BCS conferences. The other two are hanging by a thread and are powerless against the main four.

The super conferences will become reality when the Big Ten and Pac 12 want it to. At that point they will team up with the SEC and ACC to join a new college sports association and force Notre Dame's and Texas' hands. Then they will decide UConn's and Rutgers' fates, whether the Big East exists or not.

And I still say the national exposure of being in a BCS bowl game (even if they get blown out) is significant and valuable to a program. More so than sitting at home watching.

The bottom line: Syracuse University is much better off with UConn and Rutgers in the MAC than they are seeing them remain in a surviving BCS Big East.
