I still stand by that. Cincinnati would have been in a much better position than

USC or Oregon if there was a 12 team playoff in 2020. What would USC or Oregon have over Cincinnati in that scenario?

A 12 team playoff with 6 conference champions changes everything. Frankly I’m surprised the powers that be came up with it as they have to know it will dilute theirs.

The only thing a P5 has over the AAC in a 12 team playoff scenario is money.

Are you saying that, hypothetically, if BYU had an opportunity to join either

No. I’m just saying conference affiliation will be greatly diluted in a 12 team

It’s more than just money. It’s power.

Take a look at the composition of the committee that decides who gets in

6/15/21 7:07am

I understand. But the proposed scenario is still giving births to 6 conference

Sextuplets? Wow. That’s a lotta kids.

Well not at the same time necessarily. There’s probably people on this board

Which pays for better coaches, facilities, fans etc. That doesn’t count the NIL

Disagree. Power, perception/ prestige, influence (recruiting)

6/15/21 8:04am

Would all dissipate over time for conferences. Teams like Clemson and Alabama

The change to 12 teams is not going to appreciably change the financial model

I think if Cincinnati or Boise State can tell recruits they have a legitimate

"Wake Forest, Syracuse or NC State are the most likely to be dropped"? Sorry,

Saying BYU adds a “ historic aspect” to any conference is just silly especially

once I saw that some existing teams would be dropped, I knew this was uninformed

The NIL and the transfer portal will drastically change everything including

*Evanston. BYU is as likely to get into the B1G as Northwestern is to be booted.

Tennessee probably has more fans in Memphis than Memphis

Can we stay in the WCC for other sports and go football only to AAC

Yup, this is the best answer; but that's been the case for years already
