I often think of what could have been for the BE after the first ACC raid. The BE was blindsided and in a very dangerous position, but there was still opportunity.
Here's what I originally though the BE should have done;
2 divisions
WVU --------------- Pitt
USF ---------------- Syracuse
Southern Miss -------- Uconn
UCF ------------------- Rutgers
Cincy ----------------- Louisville
Memphis -------------- Temple
We could have kept the remaining basket ball teams, Seton Hall, GT. Nova, St Johns and ND and added Marquette to make 18 teams.
When you look at the 12 football teams, it really is a nice conference. It's not always about what markets you're in, BE leaders were too focused on the basketball side, too bad so sad.
