I wish the AD's and school presidents in the North East would quit screwing around and just form the Big North Conference to include:
UConn, Syracuse, BC, Rutgers, Maryland, Temple, Pitt, W. Virginia, Notre Dame, Penn St, Louisville, Cincy in all sports. Army and Navy in football only(until they are ready to join in other sports and just add those sports as they become ready).
That would be the best thing for the schools mentioned as far as travel and TV money is concerned. You'd be guaranteed a HUGE basketball and football TV package and you would never have to worry about the BCS automatic qualifier. MSG & ESPN would be on their hands and knees begging for that basketball tourney. It's just common sense to create that conference. That conference makes more sense than what any of the schools are currently in. Have whatever network wins the bidding war poney up the exit fees for schools like Maryland, BC, Penn St, ect. That gives incentive for the schools to jump and gives the network negotiating room for a sweet long term deal. I can't see how the schools mentioned could do any better than finally coming together to form the BIG NORTH.
Pipe dream or not.........Just Do It!
