Temple - Big East
Sans a five year stay in the MAC.

I realize this scenario would never happen, but how far-fetched would it be to see some of the Big East and MAC schools put together a new conference? I think this has some possibilities:

Cincinnati
Louisville
Pitt
Ohio
Bowling Green
Kent State
Miami OH
Ball State
Toledo
Akron
Temple
Northern Illinois

Perhaps even Marshall from the C-USA?

where do you think they go (if anywhere) if the Big East keeps falling apart. I think their only other option is ACC.

I believe that the ACC will be choosing either Louisville or UConn.

I don't see how Cincy staying in the Big East would benefit them.

Definitely a move to please Florida State by picking a member whose a little bit stronger in football. In the grand scheme of things, though, I don't think it's going to be enough.

Cinci still getting left in the dust...I really dont see the Big 12 taking them, only the ACC if they decide to expand more.

With the ACC taking in Notre Dame and now supposedly Louisville, would they even really want Cincinnati? Both ND and UL provide a footprint in that general area of the country.

LOL @ Notre Dame. Their football team is more relevant at basketball then their actual basketball team.

Mike Brey has won 67% of his games, including 20+ every season since 2005 and three straight NCAA Tournament berths (and five of the last six years).

I get it, you guys have to be assholes about absolutely everything (and there's a reason I put Notre Dame last on that list), but Brey has never had the talent that he is bringing in. I never thought I'd see Notre Dame have a five-star player, let alone two of them.

We'll see how this team does against Kentucky tomorrow.
