You weren't stopping the schools that left (ND, Rutgers, Syracuse, Pitt, and WV) and Tulane was voted in for all sports by the remaining C7. The remaining C7 also voted Navy and ECU in for FB only I believe but the conference failed on TCU for all sports as they were heading to the B-12 with WV.
New BE:
C6 BB / Olympic Sports - St. Johns, Seton Hall, G'Town, Providence, Marquette, and DePaul.
All Sports - Villanova, UConn, Temple, USF, UCF, Houston, SMU, Tulane, Memphis, and Cinn.
FB Only: Navy and ECU with the rest of ECU's sports joining the A-10.
This would still keep the BE as a tweener conference and definitely P6 for BB. The initial TV package would have been a lot more too by keeping the C7 with in the group and playing Fox Sports against ESPN or by splitting the contract between the two.
