Why do the football schools even need the basketball schools at this point??
They are delusional in meetings/requests and really offer nothing in terms of revenue compared to the football schools.
Seriously, why do UL/UC/Rutgers/UConn and the rest need Depaul/Seton Hall/St Johns/GTown/Nova/Marquette etc?
The revenue is in football not bball. Conference re-alignment is all about football
The brand. Like Ralph said, too much money to be made as the Big East. There is no need to split at this point. The league is as stable as it'll get for the time being.
