I seriously doubt that any far flung widely dispersed group of schools would really work, and then you make it a hybrid on top of that?
Take UConn out of the equation, and RU. What should be happening? UL, Cincy, SFU and WVU should join with CFU, SMU, Houston, Tulane (or So. Miss), Memphis and ECU to form a ten team mid-south all sports conference. Travel would be tolerable for all, and there are some reasonable rivalries that can form. It would easily earn BCS status.
The MWC and WAC also need to merge and try to lure BYU back. La Tech should be kicked back to the remnants of Conf-USA.
UConn and Rutgers don't really belong with any of those schools. But if I was AD at UL or WVU, I'd be trying to form a new all-sports conference like I suggest above. The real problem is UConn and Rutgers. We are holding back the others, because we're the only northern teams, and wouldn't want to join conference I proposed for all sports.
