Tough one, heart leans toward L'Ville and Cincy as former long-time rivals. But beating up on ND every year would be nice too, plus I always liked playing Huggins teams.
If it's only one it's ND.
Then Louisville. Then Cinci. No interest in the rest.
Wish I could vote for 2. ND is the obvious choice, but the past 15 or so years have created an intense rivalry (at least in my eyes) with Louisville.
I'd say Louisville because they're going to be the most consistently good team and I want our out of conference schedule to be as stacked as possible. After that then ND and Cinci, but l'ville just for the fact that they will always (under slick Rick) be a good/ranked team.
It's so much fun to hate Notre Dame, how could we choose to take that away?
Louisville and Notre Dame would be the ideal. If we can't get one, then Cincy. No interest in any of the others, at least as a standing series.

+1 on vote for two. Held my feelings in check and voted Louisville. We need that kind of rivalry with a team that's always in the hunt.
1) Notre Dame
2) Louisville
3) Cincinnati
4) The rest can go screw themselves
Selfishly I would like it to be UConn (Fairfield or Sacred Heart would be even better) so I could see them live more often, but I voted for ND.
You forgot to include USF and Rutgers.

Bingo, 'Ville is a top echelon team. We need games like that on the schedule. ND is often good, but rarely elite. Louisville is often elite and always good. We are losing top teams off the schedule with this new conference. Louisville and Syracuse are the best teams the Big East has to offer. With our classic battles with Louisville, they make the most sense.

Louisville. But only as long as Rick Pitino is around.
