Seems reasonable and, even if it is not part of a deal, I think the Big East will keep its autobid for the foreseeable future.
On a totally unrelated note, I think one of the more underreported events going on right now is the fact that the state of Texas is probably going to end up having 7 AQ teams within the next few years (Texas, Tech, A&M, Baylor, TCU, SMU, and Houston) and how that is going to play out with recruiting for out of state teams that have traditionally made hay in Texas. I imagine that SMU and Houston are going to become forces if they play in an even more diminished Big East while recruiting with an AQ tag.

That's fine and all, but if those 3 teams, plus TCU leave the Big East, my school is down 4 games. Where in the blue hell do you think we're getting replacement games from?
