It's in the ACC's and Big East's interest to merge and resemble the SEC and use the best teams in a geographic region from Carolinas to Massachusetts.

That would make more predictable and lower transportation costs, renew old rivalries and create amazing new ones. TV revenue would be immense with Duke/UConn 2x and Duke/St. John's 2x etc.

Duke - NC
UConn - CT
St. John's - NY
UNC - NC
Villanova - PA
Syracuse - NY
Virginia - VA
Boston College - MA
Providence - RI
Pittsburgh - PA
NC State - NC
Wake Forest - NC
Georgetown - DC

would rival the SEC for inclusion in the tourney and add football with more parity since we have played UNC and others in the past.

So instead of UConn going to the ACC, why not make a mega East conference - schools like SC, BU, Northeastern, Delaware would want in but they can smartly add teams in the geography instead of this coast to coast budget wasting scheme the ACC has or why we need to head to Milwaukee for Marquette or Omaha for Creighton.
