I'm still all over that as well. I don't think the dust has settled on realignment and I think the next shuffle will be even more football centric and UCONN and Cinci will be on the outside looking in - AGAIN - and the $ #'s from a football program might make them more flexible to an arrangement like Goose is suggesting.

It's a long shot, but not crazy to kick the idea around like we are on this thread. Just as ESPN threw around money and influence that helped lead to the realignments maybe FS1 decides they want to do something on the b-ball side to beef up the BE.

I'd hang my hat on a BE with those 12 teams - could compete with anyone while shoring up MSG affiliation.

Nothing would surprise me.
