with WVU reportily getting a big 12 invite today, i think basketball only schools really need to look into forming their own conference. The Big East is really focusing on football. Bringing in Boise St, Air Force, Central Florida does nothing for Marquette. If a conference of St. John's, Georgetown, Seton Hall, Villanova, Providence, DePaul, Marquette and Xavier could be formed. Maybe some other schools could be swayed too like Butler, Bucknell, George Mason, Duquesne, Richmond, George Washington, or St Louis could join. They may not have the tradition as the Big East schools and Xavier, but these schools would not have to worry about future football-based realignment..
