Its telling that among the members of this group are a higher up from Syracuse and one from West Virginia, two schools that legitimately fear their position if conference realignment continues into a situation where two conferences with 30-40 teams dominate. They want to lock that status in now, and who could blame them, but their system is totally unworkable.

General Dog posted:A reorganization of the sport that extreme just seems like a gargantuan undertaking in terms of contractual untangling and negotiation that nobody will ultimately have the stomach for anytime soon; not when everyone is making so much money already. That would less be a reorganization and more a reset, under one umbrella. If the seven permanent divisions resemble most of the traditional conferences, I would much prefer that than a future where you’re either in the Big Ten or SEC. For me, those aren’t traditional rivals or annual matchups, and might as well be the AFC and NFC. Regionality and the tradition are most important to college sports, and losing it is going to be a problem sooner than later. Ideally, we reset back to ‘classic’ conferences and work from there, but that’s a pipe dream. This proposal gets close. Not perfect, but to me it’s in the right direction.

Yeah this is the losers trying to (publicly) get their act together and head off what they know the big ten and sec are probably discussing The big ten and sec, of course, haven’t given this ‘college sports tomorrow’ group the time of day lol

Matt Brown from Extra Points has released a game where you're an ad. Athletic Director 3000 or something is the title. Never played so no idea if it's any good.

The perpetual members would be in seven 10-team divisions Ah, so we've re-invented 7 reasonably sized conferences. Sign me up.

I wonder if all of them would get included in the never relegate divisions, or if they'd still put like Vandy, or Indiana or some teams like that in the bottom division. Also, I'm sure this will in no way gently caress up all of the other NCAA sports.

Penn State will wind up in a division apart from the original Big Ten, and while I'd love to see more old school regional rivalry games, I don't want Penn State out of the Big Ten and into a semi-permanent division with Syracuse, Rutgers, Maryland, WVU, Boston College. That door closed 30 years ago. It would ostensibly kill Penn State's competitiveness in non-football sports. I don't want to say "non-revenue" because wrestling sells out every match, so it's probably a bigger revenue generator than basketball.

I really like the 80 team idea overall but I think it has some flaws. 1. Rewarding teams with revenue based on ratings seems like a good idea on the surface, but the current way that we consume content will not offer a fair opportunity for all members to maximize their ratings. Getting games on the broadcast networks guarantees huge ratings regardless of the team playing. Members will fight over access to the broadcast network games. 2. Conference composition will be an issue. For example, most models I've seen want to recreate the SWC as a division in the super league. Some members will inevitably be unhappy with the conference they land in, and what recourse will they have when that happens? I think there would need to be a process for altering conference membership. 3. 80 teams playing 9 conference games means we will have less matchups that drive value. I would decrease the conference size to allow members more flexibility with their non-conference schedules. If some blue bloods want to have some big games to drive up revenue, then they should be free to do that.

Let's go back to 1951 (for the following reason and no other) and prevent the Army football cheating scandal; the sport really hasn't really ever recovered from that.

I'd even be happy for conferences just to look like they did in 2014. It is going to be so sad to watch bowl season die over the course of the next few playoffs. I'm already missing the days of simply making a bowl being a good season.

Relegation and promotion are really good in general but any system that automatically protects certain teams is beyond pointless. If Bama without Saban magically go out and lose every game they play then open that trapdoor and say goodbye. In 1974 Manchester United got relegated just 6 years after winning the European Cup (aka the old version of the Champions League). System only works if teams who suck get punished for sucking.

If the overseas kickballers were to put their leagues together today they'd never allow for relegation; the idea that on the field actions would lead to actual financial consequences instead of the owners just banking their huge tv checks would be laughed out of every boardroom. poo poo, I still expect the Super League proposal over there to come up again and again and see just how long FIFA et al. have the werewithal to fight it off; hell FIFA probably just wants their piece of the pie and they'd gladly sign on. One day I need to actually do my sim of what CFB would look like with an actual premiere league and promotion/relegation, but I'd rather smash my Fire Pro action figures together for now. I can barely handle one marathon project, much less two.
