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
I'm calling Carolina, Duke, UVA, ND to the B1G with Clemson, FSU, Georgia Tech, and Miami to the SEC.
You sure? Those places have rain and players could get sick. Think you should stick with the Arizona schools
B1G -- four of (ND, UNC, UW, UVA, Ore, GT, KU, Cal/Stan) SEC -- four of (ND, UNC, FSU, Clem, Miami, NCSU, VT)
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.
There are certain academic officers out west that are licking their chops at an opportunity to get out of "big time" college football
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.
Acc is then: BC Duke GT Louisville NC St Pitt Syracuse UVA Va Tech Wake WVU KU ISU Ok St KSU UCF one of those Big 12 PAC Arizona ASU Cal Colorado Oregon st Utah Washington St Texas tech TCU Baylor/BYU? Would they take them? Houston Cinci? Air Force? Colorado st? SMU/Rice 2 20 team conferences 2 16 team conferences
Wasn't it the ACC and Pac 12 that blocked the expanded playoffs? What a catastrophically dumb and short sighted decision
