We don't want him...

If Texas and OU leave the Big12, they will have to pay the Big12 a very, very hefty amount of money. My understanding is that the amount ND would have to pay to get out of it's deal with the ACC is much, much larger.

They aren't going to move to a 12 team playoff without reducing the number of regular season games. Also, with more teams in a conference you have to increase the number of conference games so that all teams can play each other more frequently.

You must have responded to the wrong post there buddy.

Conference games will be moved to 10. That's pretty guaranteed to happen.

Exactly. They will be screwed.

ND will have no choice but to join the ACC if the OU and Texas to the SEC thing happens. The dominoes will start to fall in the direction of four 16 team conferences, and ND will face MASSIVE scheduling challenges in that world, so they will have no choice.

I agree that PSU would be a longshot, but from what I understand, they've never truly been happy in the Big 10. As for ND, they are contractually bound to join the ACC if they ever join a conference, and the financial penalties associated with breaking that contractual obligation is quite massive.

No, the NCAA should not be involved in this level of CFB at all. The 64 teams should create their own commission to oversee everything.

Said another way, with what is happening right now, you have a bunch of individual players jockeying for what is best for their individual programs without any regard for what that will do to the sport in general. Parity, rivalries, and the pageantry of CFB are the lifeblood of that sport. The...

There are historical rivalries that actually matter and there are historical rivalries that nobody cares about. Nobody cares about Iowa State and KU's rivalry. They are horrible programs. Texas/aTm, Miami/Florida, Miami/FSU, ND/Michigan, etc. Those are the rivalries that I'm talking about...

No, if the ACC picked up ND/PSU, ND/TCU, or ND/Baylor, that would be as good of a boost for the ACC as anything the Big 10 would do. Let's say the Big 10 picks up USCw/UCLA or USCw/Oregon. The ACC would benefit more from the addition of ND/TCU than the Big 10 would from either of those...

If ND joins a conference, they have to join the ACC. The are contractually bound and the financial penalty for breaking that contract is quite enormous.

With 64 teams, there is going to be some schools left out. The programs that are historically the worst are the most likely. Iowa State and Kansas are two of the bottom 5 worst programs amongst the big boys, so they would be on the chopping block. Mind you, the model for football might be...

The super conferences that are likely to come from this round of realignment make no real sense though, geographically or from a historical rivalry perspective. TV rights will also continue to be negotiated at the conference level. What is happening right now, is nothing like what I described in...

That's pretty much exactly what I was envisioning.

There would be no ACC. There would be North, South, East and West conferences. Miami, FSU and Flurida would either be in the East or South conference.

The powers that be in CFB are letting shortsighted greed blind them to the fact that they are destroying CFB, and the money they are chasing will ultimately dry up if they stay the current course. The last thing CFB needs is a greater divide between the haves and the have nots, but that is...
