These teams you are talking about aren't "rivals". They are EX-Rivals and the Old Big East is dead.

And "Regional Rivals" is a term you made up to bolster your argument. Are we declared the Champion of a Region if we win the game? When I look in the paper I don't see Regional Standings. I see Conference Standings.

If you think playing games against our conference rivals is "meaningless", than I don't think you can be helped. These games actually count towards winning the ACC Championship which ought to be our #1 goal every year.

If you can't "get excited' about playing in the ACC and long for the Old Big East, you can't be helped. Those days are GONE.

If you want SU to play in front of crowds in NYC, Phila and DC, fine. But there are plenty of teams to choose from as opposed to trying to prop up truly meaningless games against UConn and Georgetown. In DC we could play Maryland or George Washington. In Philly we could play Temple or St Joes or LaSalle.

My vote would be not to schedule them at all. Let them sink into Mid-Majordom.
