Like I said on the FB board, if you really miss the Big East and if the ACC loses most of its teams then we could see one day 7 of the 9 early Big East teams back together again and playing the ACCT in MSG.

You would need SU, BC, Pitt, Duke to stay together and reject the B12. Being more academically oriented and private (except Pitt) makes this more likely IMO. You would need to convince Army and Navy to join for football only (upgrade for both). You would need to convince UConn to join for all sports (to save FB they would). You would need to convince Georgetown and St Johns to leave the Big East (half the Big East is not in the East already and they get back with their prior Northeast pals). You would need to convince Nova to leave and to go FBS in football (if you threaten to take Temple instead I think they budge). You would need USF to join for all sports (this is needed to keep FB relevant in FLA).

Also for those Big East schools they would be making more money in the ACC.

That would give you a BBall league of SU, BC, Pitt, Duke, Wake, UConn, Georgetown, St Johns, Nova, USF. That is 7 out of 9 year four Big East teams. Only Seton Hall and Providence are missing. In return you get Duke which is even better (although you have to put up with Wake and USF). MSG certainly picks the ACC over the leftover Big East which is mostly Midwestern.
