The speculators and wishful thinkers on this board should given the remoteness of the odds should be thinking bigger.
The Atlantic Coast Conference would seem to be the ideal conference for UD to be in and the ACC would be happy to admit UD. It could realign its divisions to state division and metro division. UD could be in the metro division with Syracuse, Boston College, Miami, Pitt, Louisville Notre Dame and Clemson. Not that Clemson is a Metro school but since Purnell coached at both Dayton and Clemson they would no doubt be eager to join the division.
What would be needed to make it happen:
1. UD would have to go up to Division One Football
a. It would need to replace Welcome Stadium with a 50,000 seat state of the art football stadium but this could be funded by the Ohio taxpayers as that is how stadiums get built these days.
b. They would need to get a quality team. It might take some money to get Nick Saban but it could be worth it.

With all due respect old fan....I think you must be hallucinating. (or perhaps joking)
