The real conversation if all this happens should be how to get USF, WV, Boise, and the top teams in CUSA and MWC and form a new league. Drop the dead weight and form the best of the rest. But that ain't going to happen either.

Maybe UCF will black ball them like USF has to UCF in Big east....

The big east will rebuild, the BCS will not want to deal with litigation from teams that are AQ teams becoming non-AQ teams...

Why even bother with any MWC teams if you form a new conference-OK maybe Air Force

SMU
TCU
UCF
USF
West Virginia
East Carolina
Southern Miss
Houston
Tulsa
Army
Navy
Air Force

BAM! Southern based 12 member conference

That would work, but essentially you are just building a new conference with a new name. Give us a chance to shed some of our "friends".

by doing a completely new conference as above, would that result in no autobid to NCAA in bball?

It will be built in Big east name...can change later when you separate from hoop schools....

This is best case scenerio for us...big east gets picked apart, the remainders, basically USF, organize new conference under big east AQ status...


its going to be very difficult to take that away from USF....

yeah but the BB schools are going to stick a bunch of crappy BB teams in there like Temple-probably Memphis(ok I guess), maybe Villanova etc. And wouldn't the automatic qualifier thing likely be gone because less than 5 BE teams remained

They changed that rule, but think how hard its going to be to takes away AQ status....very difficult...

Plus if the big east keeps the 27 month guideline I think that will push them over the new BCS cutoff
