Just for the sake of fun and argument let’s say that the Power conferences expand to 16 teams. In order for them to do that they would need to steal from other conferences. Which conferences hold school highly regarded enough to jump and join the power conferences? Below is my take on this if it ever did take place. Connecticut will find a home and the Big 12 would be gone leaving four power conferences of 16 teams. Each power conference would have two divisions of eight schools. They play a seven game conference division schedule in football. In basketball they play everyone once for a 15 game conference division schedule. TCU would be the odd team out and they would jump back into the Mountain West Conference. This might not be where schools end up but you will see that sometime very soon these 14 team conferences are going to expand once again.
