I think this is the best part of the article:

At this point, each remaining school has to make itself look attractive enough for somebody else. The Big East already has lost its seat at the equality table in the future playoff system. It is set to lose millions upon millions in revenue. Its biggest national football brand -- Boise State -- has not even played a down in the league, and yet, is perhaps the most valuable piece that cannot be lost in the next several months.

The Big East has, unfortunately, become a minor-league farm system for coaches and programs. Prove yourself in the Big East, and you get called up. While there are some who remain hopeful, this league will not rebuild itself the way it did after Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College left.

What did Cuse football prove in BE football? How about Pitt? It's more about TV market share, than on field performance.
