I had read that JoPa wanted a NE football conference, but...


...couldn't get buy in from enough interested universities.

Have to wonder what the landscape would look like if PSU had gotten schools for his conference... They may have been enough to keep it from being raided by other conferences.

But we know what happened...the Big East kept their "basketball orientation" which considered Div 1A football a "secondary" sport. Not sure if they knew that was the "cash cow," or they didn't care because they never planned to have "big boy" football. The core of that group left everyone behind, and "divested" themselves of who was left, which became the AAC.
