VT, WVU, Rutgers, Pitt, and UConn, should join NCSU, Wake, Clemson, and add Louisville, Cincinnati, Marshall, and Central Florida. 12 teams and a championship game, should be a BCS conference, VT is a top 10 power, Pitt and Clemson have national titles, Marshall and others have winning traditions, Rutgers and UConn have great potential without instate competition for top recruits. Louisville, Cincinnati, NCSU, and UConn have basketball titles, new league would have great programs in mens and womens basketball as well as football. North division with WVU, Marshall, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Pitt, and UConn, south division with VT, Louisville, NCSU, Wake, Clemson, and UCF, fairly balanced in football and basketball. TV region stretching from Florida to northeast and midwest may be the biggest in the nation.

Remaining basketball only Big East schools are Catholic: St. Johns, Villanova, Providence, Georgetown, Seton Hall, and Notre Dame. Those 6 should join other Catholic basketball only schools like Depaul, Marquette, St. Joseph's, etc., this would also increase the league's midwestern exposure.

I've got to give you props for trying. But, if it ain't broke, don't fix it....

what the crap?

has it gone through your head that NO ONE has even dared to look at doing this, yet you still keep on?

ACC + Miami (FL) or Louisville = perfect

we WONT take Miami...heck, they cant even fill up their Orane Bowl except when they play Florida, Florida State

By the way, why is this on the Smack Talk board? Is that your way of admitting that this isn't even a serious suggestion, and just intended to start a bunch of smack?

Wrong thread, but Miami's attendance was 74,000 against BC, GT had 44,000 for BYU. Miami is #1, defending national champs, won 5 national titles in football and also baseball titles. This thread is about a new Big East, with VT, WVU, Rutgers, Pitt, UConn, Wake, NCSU, Clemson, Louisville, Cincinnati, UCF, and Marshall. That would be the ideal league for those programs, very competitive within itself in all sports.

BC blows.

and where did you find that info? in your head?

In defense of Miami, I feel they would be an excellent addition to our conference. They ARE a private school with a good academic reputation.
