Athletics is but a small part of academia. Universities are bound together by much more than sports.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lieutenant America

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

Nat Gas Man

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

Some of those % look high

Several deserve a zero percent chance

ACC: 0%, SEC 0%, Big10 0%, PAC12 2%, Big12 8-10%

"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

NotTokolosh

6/15/21 10:39am

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

Dropping a team would result in massive lawsuits. These are college presidents

Eh, it's not just about home markets

*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

Nat Gas Man

Or A&M in Houston

Or tOSU in Cincinnati

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