We can always add Creighton, SLU and Dayton if the fball schools leave. Go and get top bball schools like Xav, Butler and memphis, uconn, cincy, temple (let them park their fball in CUSA or wherever and keep them as long as possible with the expectation that they may eventually leave).
-There is no given that they will be invited to the ACC, Big 12, etc
-It would create a much better bball conference for the time they are in the league
-The bball only schools still maintain a controlling majority vote in the league
-If they leave, the conference keeps their tourney credits which means more money for each school in the conference and SLU, Creighton and Dayton will still be waiting there to join

I understand that having departures from a new conference might not be the best move pr wise but I believe the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion.
100% disagree. No unconn or Cincy or any football teams. Look at mess of be right now. These teams will leave sooner or later and then it's right back to the same situation now trying to figure out who is invited and joins. Way all this realignment is going who knows where c7 league will even be when those schools would decide to leave. Take the best bball schools available now with 12 team league and build on that
