The football will still stink in the new Big East. At least the oppenents will be easier.

I think you are being a little rash there. It will take some time to develop, and it is nearly impossible to replace Miami.

Louisville for VT is an even swap.
Within a few years Dantonio should have Cincinnati as strong as BC. We will also be a much better team in future years.

While I think the Big East will be OK, you are crazy to believe that VT and Louisville are an "even swap". Even the past couple years when VT has been a little down, they have still been a better program than Louisville. VT brings better fan support and even better TV ratings. Remember, Louisville has never won a major bowl. VT has, and no it was NOT during the Vick era.
