In my opinion, B12 has 4 additions they NEED to make; add USF, Memphis, Colorado and CSU. These 4 schools add rivalries, and travel partners for new schools and I think they could get some stability with these schools. Yeah, some relationship repair needs to be done with Colorado, but if you lay out the plan, how could they decline.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see both Big 12 & ACC fighting over the War on I4 schools (USF & UCF) smazza pretty much said this a while ago that Big 12 should of got both. Maybe the ACC is holding that up and we end up in ACC which is better travel for USF.

I like this scenario for our school the most. Give me a reason to travel up the coast instead of driving west, please!

He talks about some PAC candidates... and why the PAC "10" will be adding some teams as part of their next deal.

Plus, is Big Ten having buyer's remorse?

I’m curious what the majority of College Football fans think of all of this expansion; because we actually control this. If we don’t like what the B10 and SEC are doing, simply don’t watch them; their ratings will go down, advertisement money will shrink and they will have to change how they do business. The problem is that the general public wouldn’t take a stand against them for a variety of reasons and so we are where we are.

The problem is -- "fans" are not a unified group.  Most college football fans root for teams in the P5... and they certainly won't boycott watching... and G5 fans boycotting something won't get a lot of attention.

Exactly! I stopped watching college football postseason If it didn’t involve USF years ago. College football post season sucks which is why I no longer call college football the best sport. Hopefully they fix it and add a 12 or 16 team playoff

Only way I see it working is if we ens up with only big ten & sec that the MSM make matter and call it the P2. At that point the rest of the conferences should create a 12 team playoff.
