I don't know how scheduling works for non-revenue sports, so bare with me. Could it be possible to add 6-7 full west coast members and only have them compete in the west division? Same for the east. It would cut down on travel costs and travel time and allowing for a "real" conference with full members.
The Yale bowl had more than 320,000 cubic feet of earth moved, contains 22,000 cubic yards of concrete, and 470 tons of steel. Is anyone able to price that out?
Has there been any two schools that have moved as a package deal? I don't recall Pitt and 'Cues being a package. Also, the only conference that might want FL market is the B12, and they could take FSU presumably. Why share revenue with 2 schools when you would only need to share with 1?

On a deal that can "save" the league (the only thing I can think of as a 'deal' would be a larger share of revenue):

Not much here except this quote from the Butler AD:
As good as gone? lol
If they vote to dissolve the league, the "big east" schools lose their ability to attend the NCAA... Do I have that correct? I would think that would be the LAST thing they would want to happen. The tourney is everything for them.
