    Michigan gets a guaranteed trip to the Rose Bowl every 4 years under this deal. I approve.

    really just needed one big breakaway football league with divisions and held the non-football sports harmless, and maybe we get there, but it's going to be wild between now and then.

    at this point Sankey and Warren need to do a summit where they plot out how to best convert the landscape for football

    this is the AFL-NFL merger

    B1G, do something big and hilarious like starting the "National Collegiate Football League" or something similar. Forcing the SEC to change it's name would be the funniest outcome.

    Could this geographical alignment lead to an increase of off-campus games? USC v. Michigan in Vegas. UCLA v. Ohio State in Chicago. It'll get TV eyes (for awhile at least) and that's all that matters.

    32-team leagues with 2 16-team conferences. Championship games at the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. Maybe those champs play each other. Maybe they don’t.

    Wasn't it the ACC and Pac 12 that blocked the expanded playoffs?

    What a catastrophically dumb and short sighted decision
