    Technically Trump and Clinton are both from NY, so no matter who you're voting for the answer is clear.

    What happens if the media format for these games changes so much that all of these conference tv contracts get trashed? What if contracts are on an individual season basis per school?

    I would assume no matter the distribution method that conferences would still negotiate together. Texas is probably one of a few schools who could negotiate on their own. But I think that's a huge question in all this. What will live sports coverage look like in eight years, let alone 20? Has the bubble for sports media rights burst or is there more money? Big unknowns

    10 team conferences make the most sense if you are going to do complete overhaul/realignment. Then play 9 conference games and you play every team in the league.

    Every conference champ goes to the playoff.

    Right, because youre only supposed to join a conference in which youre historically better than every other team. Speaking of which, I have bad news about Clemson and the ACC...


    Seriously, though, why are 90% of Clemson fans such stupid fucking chuds?

    We concede the metroplex to Oklahoma. It was tough but something that had to be done.
