We basically have three years max to win the Big East and prove our worth.....

[The Great 8]

acc should merge with big east today

That would give you about a 28 or 30 team conference.  Can't assume that teams are going to be offered.  When and if those conferences get raided, then some kind of merger should work.  But basketball would still be too large. 

After the raid, what might be something to look at is a basketball only conference for those schools without football.  Then take the remaining teams in the 2 conferences with both BB and football and make a separate conference.

Or, you know, it'd be a 20 team football-only conference.

Beat that Big Ten.

LOL
