THIS is the inevitable outcome:

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

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

Huge Manatee

6/30/22 12:16pm

It's all about money and power

TNT

6/30/22 12:16pm

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

Huge Manatee

6/30/22 12:17pm

They could and will make it work

TNT

6/30/22 12:22pm

College sports is fueled mainly by student and alumni association

Huge Manatee

6/30/22 12:24pm

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

Huge Manatee

6/30/22 1:51pm

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

ACrop

6/30/22 2:00pm

I doubt there as many general CFB fans as you imply

Huge Manatee

6/30/22 2:11pm

ESPN is the one pushing the SEC and Big Ten, less interest in other conferences

Welcome to America

I think that's pretty clear

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

*So they [don't care if they] alienate all but 40 colleges in the country[.]

Wasn't something like this speculated several years ago?

TNT

6/30/22 12:16pm

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

BYU Fan

6/30/22 12:16pm

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

Windward_Coug

6/30/22 12:18pm

it's just speculation. it's not inevitable

Dangerous

6/30/22 12:18pm

Could she be any less specific? Who is “someone”?

VenturaCoug

6/30/22 12:19pm

Exactly...she could have been talking to her mom.

Dangerous

THIS. Dumb tweet

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

jrifkin48

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

NOCAL_YFAN

6/30/22 12:19pm

Whats weird is the rutgers and vandys of those conference are still around.

here's to hoping

6/30/22 1:39pm

Every conference needs an easy win or two

BYU Fan

6/30/22 1:42pm

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

YIsForBrigham

Signed Rutgers

SportsRoad

6/30/22 6:23pm

So, West will have to create their own division

Dr T-bone

6/30/22 12:20pm

The NIL money could have been the final straw, only a few schools will be

RC Vikings

6/30/22 12:22pm

Very true

TNT

6/30/22 12:23pm

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

Remigius

6/30/22 12:24pm

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

Turnpike Lane

6/30/22 12:26pm

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

RC Vikings

6/30/22 12:30pm

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

Well I just got off the phone with someone that thinks...

RexIdaCoug

6/30/22 12:31pm

But what's the point of a 20-team conference? Anyone have an explanation?

Mitty

6/30/22 12:52pm

Minor league for the NFL...AFC and NFC type

SportsRoad

6/30/22 6:25pm

It will happen

nevercoug

6/30/22 1:17pm

Those numbers are a joke for the other conferences

slatecoug

6/30/22 2:14pm

Certainly possible. The P5 distinction is becoming less relevant.

jimmer4pres

6/30/22 1:32pm

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

slatecoug

6/30/22 2:12pm

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

BYU'01

6/30/22 2:34pm

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.

slatecoug

6/30/22 6:04pm

Should be this

runningryan

6/30/22 2:13pm

Most likely

Borg

6/30/22 2:25pm

If this comes to pass, how unjust and pathetic

SurfCoug

6/30/22 4:51pm

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