Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 4966131, member: 523"] The Big East is wayyyy more likely to try to recobble the FB/BB model should the ACC implode than and anyone short of Notre Dame to a BB only league. There is simply no school even in the leagues expanded footprint that would add any value and I include a soon to be Mark Few-less Gonzaga. BC/Cuse/Pitt/ Wake have zero value to the B1G, SEC or B12 and not much more to a ACC leftover conference (which would make UConn it's first call). In a world where the B1G grabs UNC (with Duke), UVA (with VT), GATech; the SEC grabs Clemson/FSU while UL, NCST, Miami beg into the B12 or some combo thereof, ND rejoins the BE as a FB independent and a decision will have to be made especially if more that those 4 are leftover. Does UConn bolt for a FB league with BC/Cuse/Pitt/Wake/Duke/UL/NCST or something like it? As of right now, I think the answer is a hard no. Better for UConn to split the FB schedule between those schools, the AAC, MAC, and FCS as a independent? The ACC defections would need to be limited to only the top FB schools to bring the total under 12. Every one of those schools would jump to join the BE assuming FB isn't going to be a factor. A breakout FB division or a regional realignment of non-FB sports would facilitate such a move. [/QUOTE]
