UConn, Rutgers, WVU, and Louisville should vote to break up the Big East asap. The hoops schools can keep the name and move on to add whomever. This allows us to become free agents, and frees up conferences from looking like they are killing the Big East. The ACC and Big 10 would both love to force ND to join something, anything. If the Big 10 were to invite UConn and Rutgers they would still have room for ND and someone else. The ACC has already made it clear they will take UConn if ND joins. Without the Big East to fall back on ND has to join something or they will end up with the hoops onlies which is not what they want. ND needs to have a reason to join a conference and this gives them something to tell the alumni. Either way it puts an end to having ND in the drivers seat and leaving UConn et al in purgatory or worse, stuck in a conference with ECU, UCF, USF, , CK, ME.
This also frees up WVU and Louisville to join the Big 12.
