Message: [QUOTE="TGW93, post: 4642612, member: 3099"] It's a plausible outcome - especially since it lets ND remain independent in FB (which I think remains their sole objective). Eighteen basketball schools under the Big East brand - a powerhouse league and tourney at MSG. The football-playing schools could have a football-specific conference called the Atlantic Coast Conference - all football money from that conference is segregated from the Big East. Add a few other schools to the football conference - Army, Navy, Temple, USF, James Madison, ECU (e.g., schools "in-footprint") - and as long as it has access to a playoff spot (even if the access is shared with ND) it could thrive.
