If one of those is a permanent rival, that leaves ONE rotating game from the other division. I just don't think that is going to work for most schools. Particularly because AF/Navy is the ONLY logical permanent rivalry.

It just doesn't work.

It works great if they're the only 2 with permanent cross division rivalry. Everybody else just cycles through the rotation of opposite division faster.

Thats true but if you want the Big East name youre going to have to add more eastern schools.

The acc just added Pitt, Syracuse, and Louisville. Hardly part of the Atlantic coast. At this point add quality teams it doesn't matter whether they are eastern or northeastern or wherever. Geography seems to be the last thing people are looking at.
