Latest article. Looks like the potential TV deal is based on a 12-team league. Couldn't tell from the way the article is written, but it sounds like they may be setting up a non-equal revenue deal. Or maybe they just mean they can make more money in a basketball league that doesn't have unequal money for the football members.

With confirmation of a 12 team league, I would think they would have to give some generous offers, or risk programs like Xavier and Butler turning them down.You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....
.....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.

But based on initial reports, Butler and Xavier would not be willing to join if they do not receive an equal share. It is believed Dayton and Creighton would be the same way.
Wonder, based on TV rating above, what would happen if 10-12 basketball dedicated schools not in the C7 banded together?
East:
Xavier
Butler
Dayton
VCU
George Mason
Richmond
West:
Creighton
Bradley
Wichita State
Gonzaga
St. Louis
St. Mary's

FWIW - UHCougar mentioned this coming out of the BE meetings:
A key discussion point is whether to bolster the basketball strength by adding 2-4 schools like St. Louis, VCU, Wichita State, Belmont, etc. There is no consensus on who to invite if this is done.

Nothing will happen realignment wise until the C7 gives their list of choices for their new league. I still think that there will be a surprise or two on the list. I just don't know who to guess that it would be.
The Big East is all but dead. I don't think that would be a good decision other than for recruiting purposes. Unless some of the members step up their basketball programs, it will be a 1-2 bid league yearly. Of course that is the MVC most years as well. Just more TV exposure would come from the BE, which is what recruits do look for.

Would they still play the conference tourney at the Garden? Or would it move around?Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan
