  1. Wasn't the battle between football and basketball schools what killed the original Big East? St John's, Georgetown etc...got out and wanted focus of conference basketball. Syracuse, UConn and others saw money in football.

    I think the moment is right for the AE. You can have 4 current AE schools. You can maybe welcome back a former members (Stony Brook) for football and maybe all sports (if the CAA isn't as attractive for them). You can get a really good academic big city school that already plays the 4 AE schools in football (Villanova) and you can maybe bring in 2-3 schools that the conference has looked at for years to join in (Monmouth, Central Connecticut State), maybe in all sports. The AE has the ability to start a football conference not with new to FCS schools, but very well established ones. Again, you can also get LIU involved as you then get the conference into NYC.

    Frankly the AE would be stupid to pass this up. To me, it honestly doesn't even hurt basketball or other sports, but improves them.

    But again, this is just a thought.

  2. If the Northeast/New England teams would accept what it is, you can actually make a really good new conference...

    UAlbany

    Stony Brook

    New Hampshire

    Maine

    Bryant

    Monmouth

    Rhode Island

    See if you can get Villanova on board. Then go raid the Northeast Conference. I would take LIU, Central Connecticut State and Sacred Heart. You have a very solid conference if you ask me. But what do I know.
