I'm guessing I may be in the minority, but I think that a basketball-centric league would be better for recruiting than the hybrid conference as it presently stands.

I think a lot of potential recruits would find the idea of playing in a conference in which basketball, not football, is Top Dog pretty appealing. In fact, I think many recruits would find that idea exciting.

A league that includes USF, UCF, Tulane, Houston, and SMU is pretty much a Big Yuk, even with UConn, Cincy, and Memphis.
