Add Pitt and UConn to that list as they would also be looking for a home with 1A football. JMHO, but I think the Big East will add a football school or two to keep Miami, BC and 'Cuse on board and happy. I think Providence, St. John's and Seton Hall will be gone. Georgetown and Villanova play 1-AA scholarshop football which MIGHT get them a reprieve. The basketball fans don't understand it or believe it, but football has become the focal point of the Big East.
