Has BYU in the Rocky Mountain Conference with AF, Arizona, ASU, Boise, CU, CSU, UNM, UNLV, Utah, USU, and Wyoming. Definitely one of the more winnable.

BYU is in the Rocky Mountain Conference — he used the sailor hat logo

I couldn’t find it for a while either. We’re there.

That's only because the BYU/UU rivalry didn't go away, despite conference swaps.

In the same conference as USU....doesn't understand BYU politics, that will

I think that is a conference where BYU could truly compete.

Fun idea, would love to see some kind of shakeup actually happen

So basically, the original WAC.

Pretty close to it

It makes too much sense to have a landscape like this

SJSU gets relegated but UMass makes the cut?

Kajdin

Yeah, looks like better programs were relegated in the name of geography

Gustav

6/29/20 8:36am

Yeah I'm sure Notre Dame would be all in on playing only one of these every year

Heck even Troy got relegated and they've had a lot of success, just beat LSU

This should happen if for no other reason than the entertainment of forcing

And seeing LSU in the Sun-belt. Even if it's not REALLY the Sun-belt.

the beauty of it, is the conf. name doesn't matter, everyone has equal access

I love the concept, but I think it could be cut down to even fewer teams.

This is the better solution. You would miss out on all of the marquee cross

For ties in conference champions, you could do some sort of point system. First,

here's to hoping

Way too many teams to make it actually viable.

An d watch the money dry up for a bunch of those schools

I like the local rivalries. Easier for fans to go to away games. Mountain is going to take a hit on TV revenue

Utah can be back with their rival Utah State, Hahaha!

makes too much sense - it will never happen...

That would be a lot of fun. I like the moving up and down idea.
