The 7 basketball members should join with A10+Creighton and form a 23 team conference. The good news is that because the 7 teams are dissolving the conference, they can keep the Big East name and rebrand it as a basketball only power. Split the conference into two divisions. Keep the former BE schools together plus the Philly schools to get 11 and Keep the former A10 schools together plus Creighton. I think they could totally make it work. Hell, the Big East already has like 20 members. At least this alignment would be a stable basketball only conference with the Big East name on it.

Big East:

(A)
Georgetown
Villanova
Marquette
St Johns
Seton Hall
Providence
DePaul
Temple
St Joes
Fordham
La Salle


(B)
Creighton
Butler
VCU
Xavier
Dayton
UMass
Richmond
Rhode Island
Duquesne
George Washington
Saint Louis
St Bonaventure



What divison would be better...id say B?

If they disolve the conference Notre Dame doesn't have to pay the exit fee.

Why would Creighton have any interest in joining that league? And that large a conference is completely unwieldly.
