The fundamental issue that hastened the demise of the original Big East would exist in this league, but potentially be even greater due to the economic pressures of the current media landscape. The needs of a school attempting to operate a successful FBS Football Program are far different than those seeking to operate an FCS Program or none at all. For any conference to work long term the programs in it need to view it as mutually beneficial as well as feeling collectively stronger together than apart. Is Marquette going to care if UConn Football is struggling to retain coaches, recruit decent players, or put fans in the stands? As long as it doesn't tank the basketball team they could not care less if UConn can't keep the lights on in the stadium. [/QUOTE]
