Those that stand still get passed. I have advocated for years... 16

Ya'll want to keep the BE a "niche" conference, They don't survive, the P5 will soon be the P4 and the BE has already not been invited.

4 teams 4 divisions annual H/W teams in their own division(6 games), alternating H/W between one of the other 3 divisions(8 games) so a total of 12 H/W games; with the remaining 2 divisions being RR (2 divisions 4 teams(8 games) that is 16 games in 10-15 of the top 50 tv markets. So 6+8+4+4=22 conference games, then fill with conference challenges, a Big5 style regional RR, and in-season exempt tourney(s).

Or we could stay the course to relegation.

Yes this is a football story but those new teams in the ACC Football will be playing BB too and the same will happen

I think what y’all want is for the end of these posts which make no fiscal or any other kind of sense!

16 makes zero sense for the BE.

We have spent considerable time on this Board talking about NIL , pay for play and Seton Hall‘s being prepared to compete in this new world of college sports. Yet there has been little debate about what the future holds for the BE conference as expansion and realignment continues in the Power 5 Conferences . . While our current Commissioner is highly regarded the biggest challenge we face is remaining relevant and how we do that remains to be answered .

I agree with most of this but when you win championships and compete in the tournament like the BE does you'll be okay
