A conference-hybrid on the scale of the original Big East will arguably never happen again, but I still think it could have succeeded with the eight non-football members it had at its conclusion (DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Notre Dame, Providence, Seton Hall, St. Johns and Villanova), as well as twelve full members (Boston College, Cincinnati, UConn, ECU, Louisville, Miami, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, Virginia Tech, West Virginia).
