ESPN is the one pushing the SEC and Big Ten, less interest in other conferences
mean more eyeballs on ESPN, it’s that simple.

THIS is the inevitable outcome:

So they want to alienate all but 40 colleges in the country?

It's all about money and power

But doesn't excluding all those other colleges lose them money?

They could and will make it work

One would think that they would take some huge hits in interest and viewership

I believe the idea is by monopolizing “blue bloods” they demand a proportionally

It doesn't work that way - you can't just steal fans of other teams in CFB

You’re assuming that people who watched Team X because a blue blood was playing

I doubt there as many general CFB fans as you imply

There is no way Congress should grant them an anti-trust exemption. There must

It seems like this would cost them $ in the long term.

Yes. It's a terrible idea and will kill college football but here we are

Wasn't something like this speculated several years ago?

I seem to recall an article predicting this when the Big 12 was formed in 1996

It makes sense that the heavyweights in college football don't want to subsidize

It's "journalism" now days. Make up anonymous sources to create your narrative

NFC/AFC model - most pro leagues have 30ish teams

Whats weird is the rutgers and vandys of those conference are still around.
here's to hoping

Every conference needs an easy win or two
BYU Fan

But they also don't generate nearly as much revenue for the conference either.
here's to hoping
6/30/22 1:47pm
They'd need 8 more teams. ND, Clemson, FSU, Miami, North Carolina would be the most likely 5. Then a fight

Each conference has 16 teams with the additions of OU, Texas, USC, UCLA

I'm good with 2 Mega, then 2 others being ACC and B12.

The gap will become so big that the ACC and Big 12 will be closer to the MWC

Not really. There is too much talent at the high school level. Right now looking

Certainly possible. The P5 distinction is becoming less relevant.

Sorry, I'm not buying the two mega conference idea.

In the end it will not have a static membership. Relegation = must-have.

Is anyone really going to surpass 16 teams? For what reason? I'll believe it
Mitty
6/30/22 5:25pm
I agree. I could see them maybe going to 18. After that I believe a conference would just get too big and unwieldy.

4 makes more sense to me. There's too many teams for only 2 conferences.
