I wanted to go back to this concept. The thread will not die and here's why:

Even if we upgrade from the AAC, which we should do if cooler heads prevail, there is still the issue of that new platform imploding.  Therefore there will always be rumors of realignments.  What if we need to keep pushing for the next life raft?

Let's say we made it all the way to the B1G, then there will still be rumors of a new division splitting off, or the slow pruning of dead weight off of the remaining conferences.  

This is the infinite thread.

I think the only way this dies is if we replace it with the relegation thread. Relegators, mount up!

In that case we need the OG regulator Warren G to save college football.

At some point the B1G and SEC are going to break apart from the rest of FBS football. The only thing  that could stop them is the worthless NCAA leadership which isn't happening.

Unfortunately, the entire FBS landscape is a mess. 

You have P2, Non-P2/G5, Upper G5 (Sun Belt, AAC, and MWC), and Lower G5. It is so unbalanced.

Eventually, the Federal government may need to step in... Because a few P4s won't survive the P2 breakaway. 

64 teams (G5) have to compete for a chance at one spot... Garbage system.

Thought i already said that I plan to keep this thread going until I’m dead. After USF gets into the ACC, I will be posting rumors about FIU joining the AAC.

Upper G5

Ask your doctor if you are experiencing moderate to severe upper G5 pain.

Agreed.  It needs to blow up...

It is quite a mess.  Those happily in power positions say that the Feds have bigger fish to fry.

Yes, that means Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina, and eventually ND (scheduling agreement), etc are gone from the ACC.

Siri, what is Venu sports and why is North Carolina leaving?

With Florida State and Clemson continuing their pushes to leave, an ACC expansion could be in the cards.

Pac-12 rebuild timeline, Apple Cup, WSU... and his decision to retire.

How important is it for the Pac-12 to stay nimble or lean in terms of the number of future conference members? Scott Barnes, the athletic director at Oregon State, told me he thought the number of teams should be on the right around eight or so. Is that strategy still in play, or is that to be determined as you sort things out?

I think there’s no question that we’re going to try and keep as nimble as possible. And I think you’ve written about this in the past. I mean, we’re watching what happens on the East Coast with the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Clemson and Florida State, lawsuits. And it, unfortunately, feels an awful lot like what the Pac-12 was going through two years ago when USA and UCLA left. And to me, that was really the beginning of the unraveling. And so I think if the ACC were to remain intact with the same number of schools they presently have, I think that probably shuts down some options. I think if there is some change in what their league membership looks like that’s significant, that also may represent opportunities. And I think our fans would say, ‘Kirk, don't tie us into something when you don't know what’s happening with one of the other major Power Four conferences.’ And we just think in the next six months, by the end of football season, whatever is going to happen (in the ACC) is going to happen. I think being flexible gives us the opportunity to look at what we might be doing on the West Coast.
