CT:

The idea of my proposal was to stop waiting for a Big East invitation that may never come and try to proactively put together a basketball focused conference. A rehash of the A10 isn't going to get you a TV contract with an NBCS or CBSS, as BE has with Fox.

By having three divisions in different time zones you are maximizing programming for a potential TV partner. The other drivers a TV partner is looking for are recent performance, size of TV market, size of school (ie. # of alumni = potential viewers), quality of facilities and overall history/academic standing.

The proposed schools are the best combination I could come up with to hit on a majority of those drivers. None hit them all.
