<p>When I look at the question I want to make one that is top tier academically, amazing basketball, amazing football, and also hits major media markets for the biggest TV contract. So here goes:</p>
<p>UNC
Duke
Wake
UVA (DC)
GT (Atlanta)
BC (Boston)
Rice (Houston)
Michigan (Detroit)
Notre Dame (Midwest)
Northwestern (Chicago)
USC (LA)
Stanford (San Fran)
UCLA
Vanderbilt (Nashville)</p>
<p>This conference would be amazing. USC, Notre Dame, and Michigan are top 5 most prestigious football programs in the country. UNC, Duke, and UCLA are top 5 basketball programs. All these schools dominate the Directors Cup for all around athletics. The big thing it’s missing is a Florida school for football recruiting but there isn’t an academic school there.</p>
