What's this?

Ah I see what you meant now in your previous post.


I thought "Big East" was in reference to the remaining schools in the Big East proper not the Big East Football Conference. Assuming Penn State joined the conference, then would the conference want 3 PA schools? I realize that Temple gives Rutgers a partner in terms of rivalry and scheduling. It may even make it cleaner from a division standpoint (if the conference goes North-South model)

North: BC, Syracuse, Rutgers, Temple, Penn State, Pitt
South: WVU, VT, Miami, and 3 more

It would be interesting to see if Penn State would have been okay with that alignment or not. If not, then the new conference could have ended up with a zipper model with the potential of 1 protected cross-division game.

Division A/Division B (protected pairings)
BC-Syracuse or Syracuse-BC
Pitt-Penn State or Penn State-Pitt
WVU-VT or VT-WVU (assuming WVU and Pitt are in the same division)
Miami-Team A or Team A-Miami
Team B-Team C or Team C-Team B

The nice thing about opting for the North-South model, is that the 6 teams in each division could be divided into 2 groups of 3 that rotate every 2 years for the 3 rotating cross-division games. Plus, the 6 teams in each division may already be nice pairings so each group gets 1 team from each pairing.

North
BC-Syracuse
Rutgers-Temple
Penn State-Pitt

South
WVU-VT
Miami-Team A
Team B-Team C
