BC, UConn, Syracuse, Temple,Duke, WF, Pitt, UC, UofL, Memphis, USF, UCF, Houston and SMU make a solid league.  

I want no part of UAB, Ga St or Old Dominion.  We can do better than that.

 

Where? Look at the map. There would be none better available unless, you value schools with no market as your conference's development project.

You could have NIU (Has no following in Chicago), USM, GA Southern, South Alabama (Mobile?), Richmond (Richmond/Petersburg) or Carolina Costal.

 

It's not like it's ever going to happen anyway.

There is zero chance that the schools you mentioned would be caught dead in that league.

ACC = $$$$$$$$

AAC = $.¢¢

Under the current contracts...

I'd imagine the current contracts would be blown up if the moves listed in any of these posts were to go down. Hell, if the ACC is looking to solidify GoR for more money, I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN started pulling the strings to bring its demise and offering to up the American's annual money if it took on these teams.

And I guess BYU just gets left out of everything and is butthurt?

I feel there will soon (Relative to financial and structural changes within how networks are run/made profitable) be a Division 4. It will be created once the P5 are all at 16 teams. There will be a couple independent's as well. Those most likely will be ND, BYU, and the armed service academies if they wish to join.

5 x 16 = 80 (+4 Independent's for a grand total of 84)

This Division 4 will play mainly amongst themselves and some paid games with the Division 1 Bowl Sub Division. They will no longer play FCS and to join them will be by invite only. There will be certain financial metrics set that would be almost impossible to achieve unless you were already a member of this Division. Thus move ups will not exist.

They'll have an 8 team Championship System with 5 auto bids for the conferences and 3 at large bids. It's all about the Benjamin's. .

That's what I honestly believe is the future. I hope USF gets in before the split.

Most of us will be long gone by the time that scenero happens.

They have $7 million a year to rub their ass to feel better.
