Conference realignment again????

All this and we will still have the same 4-6 teams competing for a title.

The perfect scenario for college football is so obvious and we are very close to it, but the greedy bastards are mucking it up.

The solution is to maintain the regional conferences and develop a promotion/relegation system for football only, let's say 40 teams. The champions of 10 regional conferences move up every year and the bottom 10 of the super league gets sent down to the regional conferences for the following year. It would make every game in college football incredibly important, including Sunbelt conference games.

I agree. College sports are regional. No one will travel from LA to East Lansing to watch a football or basketball game.

Attendance and fandom will suffer. The greed of guaranteed TV money has killed the sport.

In 10 years, I could see smaller venues, 50% of stadiums will be suites and premium seating. Everyone else will have to pay to watch.

Buckle up fellas.

And what UCF has accomplished in such a short period of time is incredible! Even though the Big 12 will eventually become a G6 conference, in my opinion, it’s really impressive.

If there is a mashup of the PAC and Big 12 UCF will be left out.

Could very well be. Would the ACC let them in?

I think that would be a more realistic landing spot for them, but more than likely back to the G5+

Probably so.

The key years to reshape college football will be 2024-2025 when the negotiations for the playoff will be ongoing for the format…. That will determine how super these conferences become.

I will continue to support the Cajuns to the best of my ability regardless of what happens, as it will be hard to break a decades old habit. But, the one positive thing coming out of all this for me, is the fact that I will have more time for golf on the Saturday’s during the college football season since I am rapidly losing my overall interest in college sports.
