From long term perspective, good decision for both BB and football schools. 1) The BB schools will have geographical and institutional compatability and can add who they want. 2) Likewise the football schools will be able to add who they want to create divisions and compete for a possible access bowl. UConn, Temple, ECU, UCF, USF, Cin (Navy) Houston, SMU, Tulane, Boise, San Diego Not much of a northeast conference at this point. Impossible to see this group at MSG. Perhaps the best approach is create a conference of 16-18 schools with geographically coherent divisions that meet annually in a conference championship game. [/QUOTE]
