If Cuse and BC know what’s good for them, they will push for us. The region needs the rivalries.

I’d like to merge the Big East with the ACC. I love Big East basketball. I just watched Xavier and Georgetown and enjoyed it. I don’t really enjoy watching any other conference and never have. A lifetime of following the Big East is hard to let go.

I don't want to see a merger but agree with the rest i enjoyed Marquette Creighton today. Don't watch any other conferences, maybe an occasional B1G game.

The writing is on the wall. There is no doubt schools like Clemson and UNC are looking for ways out of the conference into the Big 2. College sports overall will be screwed, but what do P2 schools care? As long as they got their money, everyone else can go screw themselves. It is the American way or winner takes all. It is the zero sum mentality in everything we do here in America.

just to throw another outrageous yet not unfeasible scenario out there. Instead of a Big East-ACC merger, the Big East invites the ACC remnants for membership. Since there is no football, the ACC becomes a football only conference. So some programs are members of both the Big East and the ACC. Or they merge.

Not terrible a joint power league. Increase BB money some, maybe have 2 commissioners for the separate sports and retain the right to split apart at a look in date or something.

For all anybody knows, this is something made up by Wake Forest to say “see this is what we will come to if we let FSU Clem UNC get away.”

Out of this group I'd go UConn/USF/OSU/WSU. All have been power conference schools and had success in them.

Thats why they have to make it REALLY pricey for FSU to leave. If others have to pay the same, they will have over a billion in reserve if they all leave. That will go a long way.

The Big East should add the ACC remnants and sponsor football. The Big East is awesome. The fan bases are very passionate and schools like Duke and Wake will fit in perfectly, along with Cuse, BC and VTech. It really is a great basketball conference.
