I don't see much difference with that new Big East football and the current league. Yes it doesn't have the sexy names of Syracuse, UConn, Pitt and WVU (if they are even sexy in the college football world?) But if you really boil it down, the current Big East is a bunch of average football schools with an AQ to the BCS because of what it once was with Miami, Vtech and BC. I think that league will retain the BCS AQ! South Florida is Virginia Tech before it joined the Big East and will continue to be a top 25 program in years to come and TCU will be Miami when they first joined the Big East in the 90's.

As far as the argument that people fail to see the alliance between the football schools and bball schools, well the answer is simple imo, Kansas!!
Kansas is the Syracuse of the Big XII, they need a strong bball conference and Conference USA isn't the answer and no other league is looking to add Kansas. So the dominos start with Kansas and Kansas St will follow. If that happen, Baylor and Iowa State have no other options, why would they want to go to a non AQ league like Conference USA?  The glue here is the Big East bball schools, the Big XII has nothing holding it together!
