Outside the box sports affiliation?

[RickinDayton]

I wonder if the following schools would consider a forming a loosely affiliated "Independents Conference" where the teams play six league games, the rest OOC schedules and the two teams with best overall records at the end of the season play a league championship. League would consist of:
PSU
ND
TX
OK
UNC
UVA
VT
BYU
Cincinnati
Baylor

Comments welcome, pro, con, or you're nuts.

Open to other university recommendations. Was more interested in such a concept.

LOL. Since the subject of possible moves by TX & OK, thought I'd put something else out there.

I like anything that gets us out of the Big Ten. Maybe it's time to revisit this idea from 1959:

Well that's an oxymoron!
