CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

UT moved first. B1G/USC was reactionary.

Both schools wanted conferences they could dominate but neither one ever made a playoff appearance.

UT refusing the P16 idea back in 2011 is what killed it. We would have had 3 somewhat regional major conferences that had a chance at being stable. Now even the SEC is falling behind the B1G in TV money.

SicEm365 Article goes deep on what CU adds to the B12, takes from the P12, whether UO/UW makes sense financially for the B1G, and the FSU rumors.

Thanks. First place I have seen that has a possible answer for how the B1G can pull spare change out of its pockets and couch cushions which could equal out to a partial share for a couple more teams.
 
UO and UW to the B1G, the four corners to B12, that leaves that Pac with 4 teams. Will it even survive? Rumors about a P12 merger with the Mtn. West abuond, but the Pac may just get absorbed by the Mtn. West. Or do they do 70's rock band trick and still call it the Pac12 with virtually all new members.

they call it the pac and try to hold on to the playoff spot.

they then dare the sec and big to question their right to an auto bid.

sec and big look around and say, naw, let them have it.
 
I maintain that tne end game is one (football only?) breakaway super league outside the current conference and NCAA structure with approx ~20 ish? members. They'll keep wanting more until the camel's back breaks and the alleged big schools challenging equal TV money sharing may well be the next step.

Alabama
Auburn
Florida
UGA
LSU
Tennessee
Texas A&M
Michigan
Ohio State
Penn State
Wisconsin
Clemson
Florida State
Miami
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
Texas

Maybe add a couple more, but I think it'll ultimately look similar to this with most of those members getting a seat at the table.

Too small. They want to have teams to beat up. If everyone else starves, there’s no heap of body bag games.

Not enough teams. The difference for CFB over the NFL are the fans ties to individual universities. If you are only looking at 20 programs, you alienate too many potential fans.

I think that'd dillute the product and they can schedule warm up games against the remaining ~100 teams. I don't see the other 100 starving, just proceeding with it at a different level.

They would absolutely starve and most schools would fold up shop. Most FBS and FCS programs are already on life support financially. Taking away $10-20mm in annual revenue would be the death blow for 75-80% of the 100.
