and it would the shot heard round the country.<div>
</div><div>Notre Dame would need to be lured in under the pretense of power. They keep their NBC contract. They keep all their bowl tie-ins outside the BCS. The Big East gets to keep its BCS bid due to Notre Dame. Notre Dame gets to beat up on the 5 teams left. They keep a bigger share of the money - other Big East teams just have to get over it - may as well call it the Big Irish Conference - but it keeps the likes of Louisville and Cincy alive and not in CUSA part II. A win win for everyone. And **** they already play in that conference for other sports.</div><div>
</div><div>OK, 6 team conference too few teams? Add Army and Navy, they are in the East and they play Notre Dame anyway. That would give them 7 league games. 5 spots left to play whoever they want, I assume USC would always be there. They seem to play Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue and Stanford every year too. Some of that would have to give. They get to beat up on lowly Big East teams, surely that would appeal to their rebuilding process. They are already starting to water down their schedule as it is. </div><div>
</div><div>Big East should throw everything possible to make this genius idea happen.</div>
