Message: [QUOTE="McLovin, post: 3951268, member: 9450"] The thing is, the teams breaking away are equivalent to the now P5 schools who hold all the leverage when it comes to setting schedules, TV rights and money. The teams not invited will be the ones relegated to the AAC like fate. Do you think the Syracuse or Louisville administration care what their alumni or fans think about historic ties when they are cashing that big media check? Their "brand" is fine because they get to play Duke and UNC twice per year & sell a bunch of tickets and get fantastic TV exposure from the talking heads at ESPN. Within a decade, people will forget that they were once part of a conference called "The Big East", much like how people forget teams like VT and Miami were once part of that league. [/QUOTE]
