Not sure how that would work as we would be the only school without football.

Same question but for the Big East.  Who would you want added or removed?

Personally, I think the Big East is set up perfect right now.  8 football schools and 8 basketball schools.

WVU was also suggested.. can you imagine a football game with Michigan at WVU?  Wow.. not sure ANY level of security would be sufficient for Coach Rodriguez.

Quote"100% honestly I would like to see the University of Toronto added. This has been talked about semi-recently and I think that would be an absolutely fantastic addition. They have great football and pretty good hoops. They are a fine academic institution and one of the biggest universities in either Canada or the United States."

I just find this hilarious.

They would probably handle it similar to the current school that doesn't field a baseball team.  Just schedule around it.

But road trips would be fun--drinking age is 18 in Canada.

Why would we even want to step down to that level? I suppose we would win a few more conference championships

We already played in Conference USA.  This would be a step down from that. No thanks.

Sorry to burst the bubble but it's 19 in Ontario and I believe BC..could be a couple other provinces as well but those are the two oddballs that I know of.
