[B]Update[/B]: the "solution" presented here doesn't work from a MAC-standpoint. Probably best to ignore this thread.
 
Here's the logical plan that could (and still might) work:
[LIST=1]
[*]Temple joins the Big East
[*]8 MAC teams are left with a scheduling hole
[*]Temple and each of the other Big East programs agree to play a MAC team that would've been on Temple's schedule
[*]BE balances things out so that each of the 7 other BE teams get one home game and one road game between their Temple and MAC games
[/LIST]
Up side:
[LIST=1]
[*]fixes BE scheduling issues
[*]solves MAC scheduling holes
[*]MAC can still have its championship game
[/LIST]
Down side:
[LIST=1]
[*]MAC has unbalanced divisions
[/LIST]
Problems:
[LIST=1]
[*]Yukon, Louisville, Rutgers & USF have already scheduled a 5th OOC game
[/LIST]
Solution:
[LIST=1]
[*]four BE members with 5 OOC games work with their OOC opponents to arrange that they play each other.
[*]BE throws some cas$h at the MAC (or agrees to additional games) and the 4 affected OOC opponents to address any posible negative impact.
[/LIST]
Conclusion: Every program has 12 games on their 2012 schedule... life goes on.
