I don't think that's still true. Or at least, I think the NCAA has relaxed exception parameters.

It is still true. If the Big East sponsored football then UConn could not park their football program in the AAC and Big East in hoops. When Temple football was in the Big East the first time their hoops program was in the A10. A conference has to sponsor both sports per that rule.

For starters, what you're saying is slightly different from the poster to whom I replied. He stated that you could not be D1 in two conferences - period. Obviously you can. The difference you're stating is one of the conferences has to NOT sponsor football.

So I'm not sure why we're having this discussion. I haven't seen any real proposals floated about splitting sports into 2 conferences where BOTH conferences sponsored fb and bb at the D1 level. The BEast certainly doesn't do it. I guess it would come into play if we pursued Boise or one of the other MWC's as a football-only, but the likely offset would be for them to do what BYU does and put other sports in the WCC or some such.

But to continue the hypothetical, how about Notre Dame? I believe they are in the ACC for all except football. And the ACC obviously sponsors football. Maybe because they're independent they get the exclusion. In reality, I think the NCAA would likely grant waivers if both conferences involved petitioned.

The NCAA rule applies to (men's) FB and men's BB - if they're both D1, then they must be in the same conference. "Periot" (as my 15 year old would say). I'm not sure how that differs from my original post. It is expressly forbidden, so we should stop talking about it as a viable option. It is not.

Not true. You're leaving out the scenario where one sport is not offered by the "home" conference. The history of the BEast is full of examples (Va Tech and WVU were BEast football only, basketball A10, off the top of my head). UConn is looking to do the same, though they are being shutdown by the AAC and CUSA.

And those are the most popular scenarios we are discussing for someone like BYU. Home conference of WCC, as it is today (with no fb option). Football in the AAC.
