No matter how much some of you Big 12 fans click your heels together, there is no way on earth the Big East is going to abandon New York City for Manhattan or Lawrence, KS. Or unfortunately, even Kansas City.

But but but I thought basketball wasn't a player in this at all! St. Johns, Providence plays basketball only, they should be beyond worthless to BCS conferences. You still have Syracuse, UCONN and Rutgers. You can't have it both ways. Basketball doesn't matter, or it does matter.
You don't have to get the Big East to think those schools are dead weight. You just need to come to an agreement with the schools to make a NEW conference. If you can propose more money than they make now and stability, I don't think it matters much.
