Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 5064415, member: 694"] I'd take Yormark getting his NE pod with 'Cuse, Ville & Pitt to get to 20 (with UConn in the fold BC is redundant and unnecessary); with some combination of ACC leftovers to form their SE pod to get to 24 (if that's the end-game). Gives UConn back OBE rivalries with WVU, Pitt & Cuse; plus post-raid rivalries with Cincy & Ville; a couple of AAC partners in UCF (ConFLiCT lives) and Houston; plus some basketball powers in Kansas, Baylor & a hoops-first Arizona. Florida State, UVA & UNC end up in the Big Ten (which leaves the lights on for Notre Dame). The SEC scrambles to figure out what to do... potentially ending up with NC State & Virginia Tech, but Clemson finds itself uncomfortably without a P2 home, probably stuck in the Big XII SE quadrant with Miami, Georgia Tech & Duke. Wake & BC end up in the best of the rest conference the Pac-12 remnants form with Stanford, Cal, OSU, WSU, SMU and others. (If Utah realized it's Big Ten dream (which would mean the Big Ten gave up on Notre Dame for now) then the door opens for one of those schools to be the California outpost for the now coast to coast Big XII) Big XII decouples it's media rights into a football & basketball/olympic sport setup. P2 firms up and stabilizes. Big XXIV ends up solidly as the middle iter; with the Pac-12 remnants a half-step down and the remaining G5s pretty far beyond that.. so much so the top-4 (SEC, Big Ten, Big XXIV & Best of Rest) separate into the Autonomous division and Division 1 consolidates the FCS and remaining G5s with a single championship for football and basketball. Probably about 84 teams wind up in the Autonomous Division. [/QUOTE]
