I agree with you that there is a 99% chance the ACC and Big 12 conferences will move pawns around the chess board as they lose all their valuable pieces.  I don't want to give the Big 10 or SEC credit for being smarter, they just happened to have larger fan bases at the right point in history when casual fans drove enormous value because of the linear cable model and ESPN.

College sports has stuck with the logic in your post for 25 years, and it is becoming a P2 on its way to a P1, and somewhere along the way will hit a doom loop tipping point where fans will stop caring and its ratings will mimic virtually every other minor league in the world.

If college sports ends with the kamikaze crash that I expect, the history of realignment will be studied in college strategy classes as another example in how the leadership at universities in the first decades of the 21st century had become completely detached from the basic rules and tactics of market competition.
