It was Clemson I think.

Part of the issue with Cal is they have similar uniforms to WVU.

Yup, and throw Miami in there too. Would get them to 14. Also said Nebraska and a Colorado were coming back too.

Nothing here is serious. It was bullship to generate clicks. Total click bate.

It's clickbait generated by the Texas AD, not the writer. It's another case of Texas needlessly stirring the pot to achieve some odd end goal no one can quite figure out.
 
The goal is clear...

"Whee...we are Texas. Look at us. Pay attention. Florida has oranges, Arizona cactus, and in Texas we stir things up just for practice."

"Something"... Hmm... As in, Texas leaving the Big 12? That would be something.

Its a great new plan to increase conference revenue. The Big 12-2 has decided to open up discussions on expansion once more. All interested G5 Parties can send a completed application for membership conveniently found on the back of every Longhorn Steakhouse place mat along with a non refundable check for 1 million dollars made out to "Cash" to cover the processing of your application. New members will be notified via letter, so all presidents keep checking your mailboxes!

So it's on again! Yes!
 
The only move Texas would be making before 2018 would be to the B1G. No other move would be worth it for them prior to that date.

The Big East as a 3 team football league is a pretty solid idea.

I'll try to improve on Bob Ryan's "original" idea...

Big East- BC, Uconn, Cuse, RU, PSU, Pitt, WVU, VPI, ND, UM

Covers the Northeast Corridor with rivalry pairings up and down the entire lineup. Includes pseudo NE Schools ND and Miami which recruit heavily from the area and have a good presence within it.


ACC- UMD, UVA, WF, Duke, UNC, NCST, Clemson, USCe GT, FSU

Covers the Southeast Portion of the US with rivalry pairings.


SEC- UGA, UF, UT, Vandy, UK, Ville, Bama, AU, Ole Miss, MSU

Covers the SE and Deep South with rivalries throughout the entire lineup.


Big 10- UM, OSU, MSU, UW, IA, MN, IU, PU, IL, NW

Its the original Big 1o. No need to screw with it.


Big 8 +2 OU, UNL, OSU, KU, MU, KSU, ISU, CU, Cincy

A bit trickier after 8. Added Cincy as they are technically Midwest and carry a P5 AD. For # 10 I'll add Tulsa strictly for geographic purposes, but another top MAC School like N Illinois or Conf USA Program like Marshall could be an add here. A lot harder to find worthy programs and geographic fits in this portion of the country.


New SWC- UT, A & M, LSU, Tulane, AK, TCU, TTU, Baylor, UH, SMU

The majority of the Old SWC reunited with the addition of the State of LA makes for a powerful and geographically cohesive conference. This would be a rugged conference to win.


New MWC- BYU, Utah, BSU, Wyoming, New Mexico, CSU, UNLV, SDSU, FSU, UH

A geographically spread out conference that touches on areas throughout the Western US. Not a powerhouse on the field, but needed if you want to put on a tournament that is inclusive of the whole country.


PAC 10- UW, WSU, OU, OSU, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, UA, ASU

The old Pac 10. No need to mess with it.


Obviously there are some notable omissions on here such as UCF, USF, Temple, Marshall, The Service Academies etc. That said it would be cool to have real geographic based conferences each loaded with multiple rivalries. Each could crown a champion and send them to a real non biased 8 team playoff.

The slow march seems to be to get to 4 rather than 8. I like your list of members trying to get to 80 nationwide.

Bob Ryan got into it with the Gamecock fans saying that USC made a huge mistake getting out of the ACC. It's been over 45 years since that took place, and you'd pretty much have to be at retirement age to remember USCe in the ACC. South Carolina is more valuable to the SEC at this point than the ACC. And even though they don't compete well in the SEC, you'd never get a Gamecock to admit that.

What I like about your list for the ACC and Big East is that with flipping USCe and Louisville, the ACC currently is made of 15 of that list of 20. Adding UConn and WVU would get the ACC to 17 of that list, and that could be easily done while leaving Notre Dame in the current scheduling agreement. We'd have to get WVU closer to the end of the Big XII GOR.

Is having 17 or more teams really one cohesive conference, or is it so geographically spread out that you basically have 2 right sized conferences sharing a championship game at that point? What I like about the idea that I laid out, is that it is inclusive of more schools and tries to touch on every portion of the country that fields FBS Football. More schools involved in reasonably sized and geographically sensible conferences is better than trying to eliminate some members while building enormous super conferences. Instead of having weekly rankings that prove literally nothing, you have a committee who watches all the games throughout the season, and meets in December to seed the conference winners for the tournament.

Hypothetical Tournament:

1)Alabama
8)Utah

4)OSU
5)FSU

3)LSU
6)PSU

2)USC
7)OU
