Having said that, I think the Big East should try expansion again along with a second, FBS, football conference for FBS members. I know it turned how horribly the first time but I think it could work out. After expansion, the basketball conference could be divided east/west for less travel. Play teams in your half twice and play teams in the other half once. Teams we could add to help fill out an FBS football division could be Temple, Buffalo, Cincinnati, UMass (yeah, I can't believe I said it either) and Kent State. If one or more of them say no, we could look at Army and Navy. Then go to two 8 team basketball divisions. East could be UConn, UMass, SJU, Nova, Providence, Seton Hall, GTown and Temple. West could be Xavier, Cincinnati, Creighton, Marquette, Butler, DePaul, Buffalo and Kent State. [/QUOTE]
