Good read......and right on the mark

Very good read - the 2nd last paragraph said it all.

"Bob" in the comments section is kind of out there not to mention that Maryland left the ACC.

I like the idea, when talking about the Big Ten, calling it the New Big Ten, especially around Badger fans. Just sit back and watch the reaction.

I also like the term "Football 5" when referring to those other conferences, instead of "Power 5" or P5.

"They watched as former pillars of the league left for the AAC and ACC, but managed to grab three other programs with solid reputations to start a (Division I) basketball-only conference — which was the original design of the league anyway."

The Catholic 7 were the ones whole left.
