The Hybrid I like is to add: (Memphis or UCF or ECU) to go to 9 Full Members
Invite Notre Dame, Georgetown and Nova along for the ride.
If there is a split, this option is far better than the one presented. Memphis, ECU, and UCF are known quantities, unlike the options presented.
To be fair to UofL07 he was trying to come up with a long-term strategy that was at least feasible. Some of my ideas would be extremely difficult to pull off.
My order of preference, currently:
Vision 1:
PSU, ND, Miami, USF, Pitt, WVU, BC, SU, UL, UC, UConn, RU (with these two - G'town, Nova - and possibly two of the following - St. John's, Marquette, and Providence)
Vision 2:
Miami, USF, Pitt, WVU, BC, SU, UL, UC, UConn, RU (with G'Town and Nova)
Vision 3:
WVU, Pitt, USF, SU, RU, UConn, UL, UC, Memphis (with ND, G'Town, and Nova)
Vision 4:
WVU, Pitt, USF, SU, RU, UConn, UL, UC, Memphis, ECU
Vision 5:
The current status quo.
Of course the latter two are the simplest ones to accomplish, the rest get harder and harder to achieve as they go up line.
Cheers,
Neil
My first preference would have been WVU, Pitt, USF, UL, UC, SU, RU, UConn, PSU, BC, Miami, Memphis
My second preference would have been WVU, Pitt, USF, UL, UC, SU, RU, UConn, PSU, BC, Miami, Maryland
In either scenario no one is isolated. Miami to Tampa is about 4.5 hours much shorter than the 8 hours it takes to get from Miami to Tallahassee. Memphis is again with UL and UC or Maryland is surrounded by schools close to it.
My realistic scenario is WVU, Pitt, USF, UL, UC, SU, RU, UConn, Temple, Memphis. Its the one we can pull off and its the one that helps us most in the long run of the ones we can pull off. And it leaves two spots for future expansion or homecoming by one of the remaining northeastern schools.
