Again, almost no one would watch those games in their own media market which is true for many in our conference so maybe it does not matter. But based on your selection, I would rather the conference move to the west. 

SDSU, SJSU, and Fresno would suit me just fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know that would work for you. Lol. For the same reason I hope uconn stays, gets me an easy away game every other year.

If UConn's out, go to 16 teams all sports (including Navy). Add...

Army, Air Force, Colorado State, SDSU and UNLV.  Divisions of 8 teams.  Put all 3 service schools in the same division with the remaining being geographic.

Football - Play other 7 division teams plus rotate 2 of 8 in other division for 9 conference games.

Basketball - Play 4 rival or rotating games home and home plus every other team once for 19 conference games,

Done.  Go Bulls!

I understand your point but, my premise was derived from what the Media Partner wanted. Not what we want. Thus I game my suggestions based primarily on largest eastern market size available.

UConn isn't leaving; I believe that got leaked and now they realize moving all sports minus football to the Big East means they need to find a home for football and the options aren't good at all. I bet it got floated to see if Aresco and the AD's would consider a football only UConn. 

If they do leave What's wrong with WKU or Southern Miss? Some history there. NIU is too far out there. Georgia State would be only good because it's in Atlanta; that's all they really bring. Going West would be fine for football only .

Literally, this is all that's really available on the East Coast anyway.

Thought I read Atlanta has the most USF alumni outside of FL. Georgia is great recruiting territory for USF/AAC. It's the heart of SEC territory and could elevate exposure. Maybe even get a Bowl game at the new Mercedes Dome. So Piss and Hillfloppers don't fit the conference profile of many of the schools. Nothing is ideal but there is some potential upside if GA State was selected.

Ulterior motive, much?

Both of these are 100% true.
