Fade in: EXT. THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE HQ - DAY Zoom in to a group of personified Big East schools chatting in the courtyard. VILLANOVA (smiling): Hey guys, what's up? GEORGETOWN (nodding): Not much, just enjoying the sun. XAVIER (serious): We need to discuss something important. VILLANOVA (curious): What's the big deal? XAVIER (sighing): You all know about the current realignment, right? MARQUETTE (nodding): Yeah, it's been all over the news lately. GEORGETOWN (confused): What is it again? XAVIER (explaining): It's when schools switch conferences to find a better home for themselves. PROVIDENCE (nodding): I've heard that some of us might be moving to another conference. VILLANOVA (concerned): That sounds serious. GEORGETOWN (worried): Do we know which conference we might go to? XAVIER (shrugging): There are rumors, but nothing concrete yet. SYRACUSE (joining the conversation): I heard that we might be joining the ACC. XAVIER (surprised): What? That would be a big move for all of us. DEPAUL (astonished): Yeah, we've been in the Big East for years, it's like leaving home. VILLANOVA (sadly): It will be a difficult transition, but we can't hold ourselves back if it's better for the future. GEORGETOWN (supportive): We will always be together, no matter which conference we join. XAVIER (encouraging): Let's remain positive, and hope for a smooth transition. FADE OUT.
