The Big East imploded because the agendas of the football schools and non-football schools were not aligned.  Thompson articulated that in “Requiem for the Big East” in asking why he was supposed to care about Pitt football.  The agendas of football vs non-football schools even more divergent now than a decade ago.

What is going to change that a conference will be able to handle successfully both football and non-football schools as full members?  Desperation isn’t viable as anything other than a short term bridge to something else - all I see offered in your post is desperation will drive this change.

I dislike the idea - a lot - because it relies on magical thinking that something which could not work in the past will work perfectly in the future.  I’d also say if we’re at the point where the options are being in a conference with “AAC slop” or former Big East peers - the ship has sailed, somehow we missed the boat, and Syracuse athletics is completely screwed.
