That's basically what the Eastern Independents used to do.
Not easy to do now.
B1G has gone to a 9 game conference schedule. Big 12 with 10 teams in the conference plays 9 conference games. SEC, with the start of the SEC Network, will wind up going from 8 to 9 games because they will want the inventory.
The problem with this approach is finding games once the conference games start for the P5 and even more difficult to find games played at the Rent.
You would need to get at least 6-8 schools to agree to a scheduling alliance to make this work. Maybe UConn, Cinn, BYU, Boise, UCF, USF, ECU & San Diego St. This would guarantee you 7 games. Still need to find 5 games plus need to create some bowl tie-ins
Not true. No exit fee, no championship game, no sharing money.
No bowl games
C'mon, fellas. All of these one off responses take my comments out of the context that you originally set up. Why mention independence? It's never going to happen. If there were 25 other teams, it may be a viable option, but there 6.
My comment was why create a scheduling alliance, when the schools you mentioned can basically become a conference that spans the country. At the end of the Day, conferences are scheduling alliances And don't give me this baloney about lack of bowls. The AAC just created three bowls out of thin air. Plus my guess is that those bowls that have MAC and 7th position P5 tie ins would coming running after the inventory listed above.
