Will the B1G or SEC ever dump the losers at the bottom to have more room? Rutgers? Maryland? @Sandra6 ?

Vanderbilt

Have a Premier League with two divisions and two lower leagues

Everyone talking about soccer

J?
 
We? are a women's soccer board.

I think there's a path toward that model in the future if the playoff somehow changes to a strictly NFL format where rankings are out. If that doesn't happen, conferences need their top teams to have some bottom-feeder opponents.
 
The future of college football is death replaced by a low paying minor league

Good luck the rest of the way

The conferences won't

But the networks will

I can see something where the universities leave the NCAA and set up their own system with the networks
 
I think that is a really good question race… the networks have the power to decide which games they want to be showing as a result of expected viewership vs the fixed costs of production so they are “entitled” to want to maximize profitability which has everything to do with realigning conferences [obviously].

The million dollar question is performance based metrics and how you kick out previously contractually entitled entities and the legal contractual divorce fight that would naturally follow. Fun for lawyers. I’m guessing that since there are defined exit penalties for schools to decide to leave a conference, there must also be defined penalties to a conference to kick out lower income providing participants. Anyone know the details on any of this?

Yup.

B1G and SEC fans are too short sighted to see this.

A big part of CFB popularity and leadership is rooting on the little guy to beat the big guy.

That plotline is on life support

Big 10 and SEC seem to be fine with where it is going. Schools have the brands and that's why the minor leagues never work. The south has risen.
 
Why stop at two tiers? Open the whole thing up and let’s see if some of those smaller schools can work their way up the ladder. We will find out who CARES the most and the rest can wallow in the mire.
