Taking FB out of the equation (which you can only do if FB splits from the other sports, or if there is a mega P2)...

While it is a lot harder to make the NCAAT, you could argue that from Thanksgiving to early March it would be more enjoyable as a fan.

What if we had the 9 OG teams and say West Virginia as #10 to round it off (or Notre Dame instead), plus MSG for the conference tourney? That means annual "road" games in Boston, Providence, NYC, Newark, Philly, and DC. We would probably go 10-3 OOC, 11-7 in conference, and 1-1 the conf tourney. Or 22-11 overall. BUT, that would put us squarely on the NCAAT bubble every year.

If we had the same record in a national super conference we would make the NCAAT but the regular season would be less enjoyable, as would the conference tournament. We also have a better chance at making an NCAAT run.

If the two teams played each other the super conference Cuse team would beat the Northeastern Cuse team.

We cannot choose to make the move now. But IMO it certainly should be a contingency plan depending on what happens with future realignment. Our goal should be to somehow make it into the P2. But if we get left out, we might as well be happy than a few dollars richer.
