The addition of Butler today got me thinking...
What is the a reason we aren't just going football-only in the AAC and keeping all other sports in the Big East (or at least basketball.) I understand it's still not perfect but I think it would give maximum exposure to the basketball team with a more traditional league that appears to be stronger overall (especially after the Ville leaves the AAC).
Of course the AAC would want us for everything, but in a year we will be the strongest overall athletics program in the league, so it could be worth trying to leverage that into a deal. At this point we should be looking long term and an AAC football schedule/Big East bball schedule with attractive OOC games should keep both programs in the best shape they can be while we ride out this mess.
I'm sure there is an answer to this, but I'm just curious. Apologize if the question has come up already on here
