14 team conferences are stupid. 10 teams with a round robin format is good. 12 teams with 2 divisions, a conference championship game with teams playing everyone at least once home & away per 4 years is good . 14 teams with convoluted schedule making is stupid. 16 team conferences make way more sense than 14 team conferences but it's baby steps to get there. Big problem for a 4- super conference approach is that 4 teams would have to go to the Pac-12. There really isn't any good options west of the Rockies to bring in new markets or tvs (SDSU, BSU, UNLV, BYU or New Mexico don't cut it). Most people out here think Colorado is WAY out there, so to think of needing to bring in some combination of 4 teams from Oklahoma, Kansas & Texas is far fetched but a necessity for the 16 team mega conference ideas. For TVs (where this is all about), Pac will likely try to take KU, OK, TEX & 1 other Texas team but will some how end up with K St, OK St TT & UTEP. I do like the 4 mega conference ideas where the CCG is the defacto Quarterfinal game to the 4 team playoff.

Toilet Mouth posted:The only hope for either of them is that there are enough teams in the west that are interested in moving up to FBS that they can start a new conference, like some kind of Sun Belt West. BYU should gather its pride and rejoin the MWC. Then 1 team (HI or WY) should drop out to this new conference, add in 5 FCS upgraded teams and BAM a new BigWest conference. Idaho, New Mexico St, Wyoming, Montana, Southern Utah, Portland St, Sacramento St, Eastern Washington

Benne posted:I'll fully confess to being ignorant of the details, so maybe others can help me out, but why would the Big 12 want Cincy or Tulane or any of these other mid-tier candidates being bandied about? Expansion for the sake of expansion just seems short-sighted to me. You can ask why the BIG added Rutgers and Maryland aside from NYC & DC markets. TVs and TVs thus more  Pac-10 expansion to 12 really did leave with UT & CO as the only 2 real options that brought in new TVs and had some backing. UT has been a pretty decent team. CO is really taking time to adapt at least in football.

BXII trades WVU to SEC for Mizzou Colorado has been dog poo poo since it moved to PAC. I doubt PAC let's them leave though since its one of the few non-CA big markets out west.

Grittybeard posted:I actually didn't consider Colorado State, are they a possibility at all? They fit well enough geographically at least, although like others have said I'd imagine you'd prefer to fill in some space between the rest of the conference and WVU if you're thinking of location. Colorado State & BYU would be a good travel pair and overlap with the PAC & 2 good markets.

Ross Angeles posted:*raises paw* SDSU in the PAC is like HOU in BXII. They make sense in the footprint but do not add new tvs. If/when the Power 4-5 all move to 16 teams, PAC is limited to who they can take in due to geography. If it's Texas +3 other TEX/OK teams to bring Texas they do that. If it's 4 random schools west of the Rockies/Mississippi, then SDSU is a likely in. E: In 2024, I believe either Tex/TXT/OK/OKst or SDSU/UNLV/NMX/FresnoSt will be in the PAC16.

C. Everett Koop posted:My scenario: I can see the Pac12 being okay with LHN since it will essentially be PAC-12 Texas since there's the main national network and then 6 local regional networks (WA/OR/BayArea/LA/AZ/Mountian) and in this case could have a TX & TXT regional Pac12 and TX would just be called Longhorn network with some added Tech programming.
